Growing Manufacturing in Philadelphia
From timeless institutions to creative up-and-comers, Philadelphia’s industrial sector is a mix of traditional and not-so-traditional manufacturers. PIDC and its partners are committed to guiding this sector toward its next phase of industrial growth.
Manufacturing Taskforce
Building on our more than 50 year commitment to the manufacturing sector, PIDC played a lead role supporting the Manufacturing Taskforce which brought together 30 CEOs from manufacturing companies across the region. The Task Force released its comprehensive analysis in December of 2013 and created a blueprint for growing this crucial sector of Philadelphia’s economy which employs over 100,000 people and contributes almost $50 billion of annual economic output.
