Welcome

The Manufacturing Innovation, Technology
& Job Center

Inspired by the Blueprint for Manufacturing

The vision set forward by The Blueprint for Manufacturing in Northeast Ohio inspires all of MAGNET's work, including the design, purpose and opportunity our new building affords the region. The Blueprint identifies four pillars, each of which drives all our efforts: Talent, Innovation, Transformation and Leadership. The design and development of our new headquarters, The Manufacturing Innovation, Technology & Job Center, was no different. 

The future of manufacturing starts here. The future of manufacturing starts now.
