Dear Western Reserve Safety Council Participants,


We’re inviting you to take part in the 2025 Annual Northeast Ohio Manufacturing Survey, led by MAGNET. This quick, confidential survey gathers insights from manufacturers like you to better understand the opportunities and challenges shaping our industry.


Your input matters. When combined with feedback from across the region, your insight helps:

  • Guide local, state, and federal policy
  • Shape workforce and business support programs
  • Drive economic development strategies tailored to manufacturers’ needs


Survey link: https://kent.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_b8DV0ckPdKMj58q?Source=SolonChamberofCommerce

Deadline: September 26, 2025

Manufacturers producing physical goods with operations in Ohio are encouraged to complete the survey. It will take approximately 20 minutes to complete, and all responses are anonymous and reported in aggregate.


As a thank-you, you’ll receive a fall 2025 report showing how your company compares to others in your industry, along with ideas to help you stay competitive.

Your voice helps shape the future of manufacturing in Northeast Ohio. We appreciate your participation and support.


Sincerely,

Libby Rigo & Marilyn McMillin
