Today we celebrate Manufacturing Day, a day established to inspire the next generation of manufacturing and positively shift the perception of the industry. Manufacturing companies across the United States have chosen employee ownership in all forms as their succession plan of choice. Project Equity has worked with, and shared the stories of, several manufacturing companies including Hummingbird Wholesale, ADAMS & CHITTENDEN SCIENTIFIC GLASS, Hatco Corp, Optimax Systems, Inc. and more.
