Thank you to everyone who attended and made our 120th Annual Event a tremendous success. Central PA’s largest manufacturing industry gathering brought together 600+ people, business leaders, and community leaders for an evening dedicated to celebrating the strength of our industry and the people who drive it forward.
We were honored to welcome special guest Marcus Luttrell, who delivered a memorable and impactful message that resonated with everyone in attendance. His presence made for an exceptional evening.
We also take great pride in recognizing the outstanding members throughout our region whose contributions to business and community continue to elevate manufacturing here in Central PA. Congratulations to all of this year’s honorees.
We are looking ahead to our next Annual Event and invite you to stay connected. In the first quarter of 2027, we will be announcing our special guest, along with the opening of ticket sales and sponsorship opportunities. Be sure to check back for updates so you do not miss your chance to be part of this celebrated tradition.
2026 Event Details as reference below:
We’re honored to welcome Marcus Luttrell, retired U.S. Navy SEAL, best-selling author of Lone Survivor, and a nationally recognized voice on leadership, service, and perseverance. Luttrell’s experience in combat and his life-tested perspective on commitment, brotherhood, and resilience offer a compelling message for anyone who believes results are built through trust, discipline, and teamwork.
Connect, network, and be inspired as we honor the spirit that drives our manufacturing community forward, and look ahead to the next century of strengthening our workforce, our partnerships, and our shared commitment to never quitting.
