INX International Ink Co. will host students, teachers and members of the Charlotte, North Carolina community for a Manufacturing Day event on Friday, October 4 as part of a national effort to showcase the reality of modern manufacturing careers and to connect with America’s future workforce – students.

There is an increasing demand for highly skilled professionals in the manufacturing sector who can design, program and operate technology. Over the next decade, manufacturers will need to fill 4.6 million jobs.

Organized by The Manufacturing Institute – the education and workforce partner of the National Association of Manufacturers – Manufacturing Day is designed to introduce young people and others in the community to the thriving industry to change perceptions of manufacturing, and highlight the high-tech and innovative companies that are solving tomorrow’s challenges today. More information is available at https://www.mfgday.com/events/2019/inx-international-ink-co-7.

It also supports the company’s manufacturing facility in the U.K. An expansion project completed in 2016 has led to business growth, new production records and increased staffing.
