~ In a recent proclamation, Governor Greg Abbott declared October 3-10, 2025 as Manufacturing Week in Texas. The governor praised the strength of the state's manufacturing sector and its significant role in driving economic growth, fostering innovation, and creating job opportunities for Texans.

According to Governor Abbott, the "Made in Texas" brand has never been more powerful thanks to the contributions of manufacturers. He emphasized that it represents freedom, opportunity, and innovation that can only be found in Texas. As the manufacturing capital of the nation, Texas is where today's products are made and tomorrow's technologies are brought to life.

The governor also highlighted the crucial role of Texas manufacturers in the state's economy, which is currently valued at over $2.7 trillion and ranks as the eighth largest economy in the world. He noted that with a strong manufacturing industrial base and workforce, Texas continues to set records for job growth. In fact, in the second quarter of 2025 alone, the state's economy expanded by 6.8%.

As a testament to its leading position in manufacturing, Texas has been named as the No.1 exporting state for 23 consecutive years and remains at the top for exporting high-tech goods and semiconductors.

Last week, Governor Abbott celebrated another milestone for Texas' manufacturing industry with the announcement of Lilly's new active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) production facility in Harris County.

Manufacturing Week not only recognizes the significant contributions of manufacturers to Texas' economy but also highlights the career opportunities they provide across various industries such as aerospace, pharmaceuticals, biotech, automotive, and more.

The governor's proclamation serves as a reminder of how important it is to continue strengthening the state's workforce by creating new career opportunities for Texans and building a bigger and better Texas.
