Look inside the Business Record’s Made in Iowa publication

The products we produce – both big and small – generate the energy we use, help us feed the world and are infused and integral to the operations at countless businesses. 

And yet the manufacturing industry is changing – fast. It’s faced with pressure from rapid technological change, workforce demographic shifts and international trade challenges. But the industry is dynamically evolving to meet those challenges and is working to position itself and Iowa for the future. 

This inaugural publication and website together are the Business Record’s effort to help face those challenges by spotlighting future trends in the industry, honoring its leaders, highlighting the products built in this state, and elevating the perception of the industry for future generations of workers.

Made in Iowa is not only being distributed directly to business leaders via the Business Record, but thanks to partnerships with key stakeholders in the industry, the story of Iowa’s manufacturers will be shared statewide with manufacturing leaders, in the K-12 education system, at community colleges, at manufacturing events, at job centers for veterans and will be used as an economic development tool for the state. 

Thank you to our partners who made this publication possible, including the Iowa Association of Business and Industry, the Iowa Association of Community College Trustees, the Iowa Economic Development Authority and Elevate Iowa, and to our distribution partners CIRAS and Home Base Iowa.
