Rotation Celebrates Minnesota Manufacturing Month
Rotation Engineering and Manufacturing is proud to be one of Minnesota’s top metal stamping companies. Our dedication to the industry extends far beyond the factory floor – we’re always looking for new ways to engage with our community and help shape the manufacturing world of tomorrow.
After all, this is an industry that is vital to our great state’s economy and livelihood – to the tune of $56 billion in 2021. That’s roughly 14% of Minnesota’s overall gross domestic product, and it translates into 310,000 jobs – 11% of the state’s total workforce. These are just a few of the reasons why Governor Tim Waltz officially proclaimed October of 2022 to be Manufacturing Month in the State of Minnesota.
Throughout October, Rotation will be celebrating Minnesota Manufacturing Month alongside a selection of companies representing some of America’s premier manufacturers. We plan to showcase our unique capabilities in the art of metal stamping and fabrication while doing our part to help inspire the future generation of machinists, metalworkers, and craftsmen.
