Manufacturing Success in Georgia from Eli Whitney’s cotton gin to the most advanced business class aircraft in the world. Book Tour Announced June and July 2021

ATLANTA, GEORGIA, US, June 4, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Manufacturing Success in Georgia – an Illustrated History: shares the rich history of manufacturing in the state, beginning with early European settlers and continuing through modern innovations. The newly released book is authored by Jason Moss, CEO of the Georgia Manufacturing Alliance and Dianne Dent-Wilcox.

Moss will tour the state and visit manufacturing leaders to discuss the history and future of manufacturing in our state. This tour will also highlight the abundance of manufacturing career opportunities now available.

Manufacturing Success in Georgia details an amazing journey across the entire state and highlights the impact of manufacturing in both urban and rural Georgia. The book covers manufacturing's role from the invention of the cotton gin by Eli Whitney to the most advanced business-class aircraft in the world produced by Gulfstream, including a wide range of industry segments from cotton to carpet, firearms to food, transportation to timber, among many others.

A book-signing tour will include stops at many of the factories covered by the book. Beginning in early June, Jason and his wife Kandy will crisscross the state, visiting factories and interviewing industry leaders in their mobile studio. These interviews will be shared on social media and through their podcast Manufacturing News Network. The tour will promote the book and showcase great career opportunities in manufacturing.
Many Americans have been permanently displaced from their careers due to shifts in the economy as a result of COVID-19. At the same time, manufacturers are competing for the best talent, so now is the perfect time to attract available talent to the manufacturing industry.. See www.manufacturingsuccessingeorgia.com for the tour schedule and route. Factories will be hosting tours and others will be doing interviews only. Online registration is required for available public tours.

“We have so much to be proud of in Georgia. Our manufacturing community is amazing. This book and tour will highlight the success we have had in the past and help us make plans for an even brighter future.” Jason Moss
