Purdue MEP launches Made in Indiana program for manufacturers
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University's Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) has launched Made in Indiana, a program that highlights the contributions Indiana manufacturing makes to the state's economy and raises awareness of the products made in Indiana.
The program includes a spotlight page on MEP's website and social media platforms.
Indiana manufacturers can be included in Made in Indiana with a profile page at no cost. The page will feature the company's products and services with photos and contact information. MEP also will feature an Indiana manufacturer each week on the page, which can be found at https://www.mep.purdue.edu/made/default.aspx
