October is Manufacturing Month, something Ohio industry leaders are celebrating.

State Sen. Al Landism, R-Dover, spent 33 years in the steel industry. He talked with Mike Kallmeyer about how he believes new developments in manufacturing will help enhance companies in the field and allow them to be more efficient.

The President of the Ohio Manufacturers Association Ryan Augsburger gave an update on the state of manufacturing in Ohio, saying its something we do exceedingly well in Ohio. Augsburger said Ohio is the third largest manufacturing state in the country following Texas and California.

Allison Grealis, the president and founder of the Women in Manufacturing Association joined Kallmeyer to talk about the importance of having diversity in the industry. She said one of the things she loves most about the association is the opportunity it gives women to be role models for other women in the industry so more and more continue to join the field.
