Gov. Doug Ducey said October was Arizona Manufacturing Month for 2020, which highlighted manufactures in the state throughout the entire month. 

“Manufacturers across Arizona contribute to our economy and employ hundreds of thousands of Arizonans,” Ducey said in a state press release. "At the same time, they are building the products we use, powering our technology, and putting food on our tables. We have nearly 177,600 manufacturing jobs in Arizona, and growing with exciting new opportunities like TSMC and Mark Anthony Brewing. With our friendly business climate, strategic location and relationship with Mexico, and talented workforce, we will continue to welcome manufacturers to the state.”

Arizona has seen strong growth in the industry over the last 30 years, with manufacturers relocating and expanding operations in the state. 

Arizona last year experienced its strongest manufacturing growth in 30 years. Manufacturers that chose to relocate or expand operations in Arizona this year included:

"NXP Semiconductors, which announced in September the expansion of its operations in Arizona creating 100 new jobs with a capital investment of $100 million," the state said in the press release.
