Sponsorship to support local manufacturing industry in communities
across the country
LOS ANGELES -- (Business Wire)
Today, global nutrition company Herbalife
(NYSE: HLF) announced that it is a silver sponsor of Manufacturing Day,
an annual national event that supports hundreds of manufacturers across
the nation.
Manufacturing
Day—happening on October 2, 2015—is a grassroots effort by U.S.
manufacturers to improve public perception of manufacturing in America
by coordinating awareness-raising activities at a variety of locations
across the country.
Herbalife’s sponsorship will help support efforts that will be executed
at the local level to host students, teachers, parents, job seekers and
other local community members at open houses designed to showcase modern
manufacturing technology and careers.
“We are proud to partner with the Fabricators & Manufacturers
Association as they work to attract talent in this exciting industry,”
said Ibi Fleming, senior vice president, North America, Herbalife.
“Manufacturing has always been a critical part of the American economy
and an important element of Herbalife’s workforce, so sponsoring
Manufacturing Day is important to us.”
“The co-producing organizations appreciate the continued support of AWS
which has demonstrated its belief in the Manufacturing Day concept since
inception. And we are delighted to welcome Herbalife as a sponsor this
year; it represents a sector of manufacturing – nutrition products –
which has not actively participated before. We are grateful for the
support of these organizations, which are so dedicated to serving their
respective sectors of manufacturing,” said Ed Youdell, president and CEO
of the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association.
A panel of co-producers comprised of the Fabricators & Manufacturers
Association, International (FMA), the National Association of
Manufacturers (NAM), the Manufacturing Institute (MI), the National
Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Hollings Manufacturing
Extension Partnership (MEP), and guest producer Industrial Strength
Marketing (ISM) provide the centralized support necessary to coordinate
this nationwide array of simultaneous events. The national media
partners for the event are Edge Factor and the Science Channel and the
national movie partner is American Made Movie.
