On National Manufacturing Day 2026, we’re proud to celebrate the work, the people, and the purpose behind modern manufacturing.
Observed this year on Friday, October 2, Manufacturing Day gives manufacturers across the country a chance to open their doors, share what they do, and help inspire students, parents, and educators to see the opportunities this industry can offer.
This year, that message feels especially meaningful to us. As Minalex celebrates 60+ years of manufacturing precision, Manufacturing Day gives us a welcome moment to reflect on where we began, what we believe in, and the values that have guided us through decades of growth as a family-owned company.
During the early years of our business, our co-founder Jim Casey made a simple but profound statement that still guides us today: “Do one thing. And do it right.” That mindset helped establish Minalex as a leader in miniature aluminum extrusions, and it continues to shape the way we serve our customers, support our team, and invest in our future.
Manufacturing Day 2026 is about pride, progress, and possibilities, and it’s also a reminder that manufacturing is not only about machines and materials. It’s about skill, commitment, problem-solving, and people working together to build the things that matter and make people’s lives better.
We’re proud to be part of the manufacturing community. And after more than 60 years, we’re still growing, still improving, and still doing it right.
For manufacturing challenges where precision, experience, and reliability matter, Minalex is ready to help.
