Spring Manufacturing & Policy Conference

Manufacturers are navigating a rapidly evolving landscape, where workforce challenges, rising input costs from inflation and tariffs, and complex environmental regulations create new hurdles for growth. As these pressures mount, businesses must adapt to stay competitive in an industry that employs more than 29,000 Delawareans and drives economic success across the state.

Join the Delaware Manufacturing Association and presenting sponsor, DEMEP, as we explore emerging trends and top economic hurdles, identify barriers to progress, and share opportunities for the manufacturing industry—one of Delaware’s fastest growing sectors.

We will also hear from Augustine (Gus) Faucher, chief economist at PNC Financial Services Group, as he delivers a keynote on the top economic issues facing manufacturers today and what the future of these challenges could look like. Read Gus’ bio >
