2024 Manufacturing Week in Texas

October 3, 2024

"Made in Texas" has never been a more powerful global brand, largely due to our robust manufacturing sector and dedicated workforce. That’s why we are pleased to share an official proclamation and special message from Governor Greg Abbott proclaiming September 30 - October 4, 2024, as Manufacturing Week in Texas.

Each year, we celebrate this important week to highlight the diverse and growing manufacturing sector across Texas, which serves as the driving force behind our state's $2.6 trillion economy. In fact, Texas manufacturers produce 9% of the entire nation's GDP and more than 22% of all U.S. exports. 

Thanks to our mighty manufacturers, Texas has remained the #1 exporting state in the nation for the last 22 consecutive years—and counting! Not to mention, Texas is also the #1 state for semiconductor exports for 13 years in a row and the #1 state for high-tech exports for 11 years.

Earning our title as a manufacturing mecca, some of the world’s most advanced products are made here in Texas. And the state’s advanced manufacturing industry serves as an important launchpad for new technology and innovation. Texas is where the future is building!

Not to mention, the manufacturing sector provides vital career opportunities and high-quality, rewarding jobs in communities of all sizes.
