The North Carolina Chamber serves asthe state affiliate of the National Association of Manufacturers. With direct input from our manufacturing members, who comprise our Manufacturing Center, the North Carolina Chamber works with federal and state elected officials to advance the needs of manufacturers and their employees as we seek solutions to ensure the competitiveness of this vital sector of our economy.
North Carolina’s economic success is heavily dependent upon the manufacturing sector, even as it is ever-evolving and adapting to new technologies and customer demands. Consider these:

·With approximately 500,000 employees working in the industry, manufacturing employs 14.5% of the state’s total workforce.
·Manufacturing contributes 19.5% of our state’s GDP, which is almost one-fifth of the state’s overall economic output.
