Manufacturing is big business in Idaho.
Idaho’s manufacturers employ nearly 6% of the state’s total workforce and contribute more than $9.7 billion of Idaho’s GDP.
Advanced manufacturing is differentiated by the use of highly technological, cutting-edge processes, and the employment of skilled, comparatively high-wage jobs. The advanced manufacturing sector in Idaho is growing rapidly and expanding to encompass ever more industries and occupations.
The state’s advanced manufacturing industry is driven by businesses large and small that produce food, computer and electronic products, transportation equipment, medical equipment, system and process equipment, chemicals and plastic products, wood products, fabricated metal products, and machinery.
Advanced manufacturing companies are thriving across the state, from Premier Technology in Eastern Idaho and Double L in the Magic Valley to Unitech Composites in north Idaho. Idaho’s pro-business climate, robust transportation network and motivated workforce all help drive the success of these companies and their peers.
Idaho’s trained workforce will help your business launch and grow in the state. Idaho’s colleges and universities work directly with businesses to set up tailored training and coursework programs to provide additional valuable skills, knowledge and resources to the industry.
