Manufacturing is the backbone
of a strong economy.
And it’s worth celebrating.
What’s Made in North Carolina
Makes North Carolina
The Coolest Thing Made in NC is a celebration of our state’s manufacturing community, spearheaded by the NC Chamber.
Our mission is to research, develop, advocate, and communicate for solutions and policies that produce a nationally competitive business climate in North Carolina. As the state affiliate for the National Association of Manufacturers, the NC Chamber understands that a strong manufacturing industry is the backbone of our state’s economy and critical to our competitiveness.
From consumer goods like furniture, tape, textiles, and food to pharmaceuticals, construction and vehicle equipment, steel, and more, the products created by manufacturers fuel everything that happens in our state.
