Manufacturing is a driver of New Jersey’s innovation economy and has been for over 200 years. From the machines that drove the industrial revolution to the world’s first transistor, to advanced aerospace components and lifesaving medical devices, New Jersey manufactures the products that drive innovation and improve lives.

In 2020, the manufacturing sector employed more than 236,000 New Jerseyans and contributed ~$56 billion to our economy.

We consider most of the companies in this sector to be advanced manufacturers. Advanced manufacturing refers to a systems-based approach to maximizing efficiency and precision in manufacturing, using technology such as sensors, automation, and wireless communications. Basically, it’s not about what you are making; it’s about how you are making it.
