National Surface Finishing Day
National Surface Finishing Day on March 6 celebrates the industry to local trade schools,businesses, officials, media as well as employees!
What can you do?
- National Surface Finishing Day will be celebrated on Wednesday, March 6 and subsequently the first Wednesday of March hereafter. It is a day for job shops, OEMs, suppliers and others in the industry to celebrate their place in the manufacturing cycle, and educate schools, businesses and local officials about the importance of surface finishers in the community by providing much-needed support services to other major manufacturers, as well as providing jobs and growth opportunity to residents. It’s also a good way to reinforce to your shop or facilities employees just how important their job is, and how vital their services are to the community in which they live.
