Corzine toured the exhibits, stopping at each table and talking with the exhibitors about their products. Codey, who is the Senate President, also stopped at many exhibits, as did many members of the State Senate and Assembly, taking advantage of the opportunities to meet businesses in their districts and learn more about the products that are made in their own backyards and the entire State.
Speaking at a press briefing following the tour, Corzine said New Jersey manufacturers face serious competition from across the world, but expressed optimism that the lower business taxes, innovative ideas and improvements in productivity his administration has championed will help keep manufacturing viable in the State.
NJBIA President Philip Kirschner said the event is part of NJBIA's award-winning Manufacturing Counts! Campaign for Manufacturing Renewal in New Jersey. "Our manufacturers are amazing," NJBIA President Philip Kirschner said. "Year in and year out they stand up to fierce global competition while operating in one of the highest cost states in the nation. They provide quality jobs and good benefits. Manufacturing in New Jersey has a great story to tell and Made in New Jersey Day is our chance to tell it." To learn more about the NJBIA Manufacturing Counts! Campaign, visit the campaign Web site.
