The 2023 Think Manufacturing Expo presented by Swagelok and hosted in collaboration with the Mentor Area Chamber of Commerce, Eastern Lake County Chamber of Commerce and The Alliance for Working Together Foundation was a tremendous success!

We had a great crowd of over 500 students from several schools in our surrounding areas eager to learn more about careers in manufacturing while meeting with the 40 companies in attendance! All the students enjoyed an informative workshop full of panelists detailing personal perspectives of a career in the manufacturing industry!

A huge thank you goes out to our committee along with our host school, Painesville City Local Schools, Harvey High School for helping to coordinate an amazing event!

And a very special shout out and THANK YOU to the amazing student ambassadors at Harvey High School!

They did an amazing job greeting our guests and guiding them around the school, moderating our workshops and assisting in every aspect of the expo!

What a great way to celebrate Manufacturing Month!
