After the forum, the group toured three local manufacturing facilities: the Jelly Belly Candy Company; ergSol Inc, a manufacturer of solar thermal systems; and the Colavita Olive Oil manufacturing facility. Chief Business Development Officer Zen Hunter-Ishikawa represented Wiseman Commercial.
“Manufacturing comes in all shapes and sizes, from advanced technology, to solar panels, to food processing, and all of it is a vital aspect of our economy,” said Garamendi. “National Manufacturing Day is our annual opportunity to highlight the importance of our manufacturing sector and meet with local manufacturers to devise strategies that can promote a Make It In America Agenda.”
