Description
Celebrating Northfield’s Makers: The 2025 Manufacturers Luncheon
Northfield’s manufacturing industry plays a vital role in shaping our community — fueling our economy, creating local jobs, and driving innovation that reaches far beyond our city limits. To celebrate and honor these incredible businesses, the Northfield Area Chamber of Commerce & Tourism is partnering with City of Northfield staff to host a Manufacturers Luncheon on Wednesday, October 29th at Ruth’s on Stafford.
This special event will feature short presentations (10–15 minutes each) from local manufacturers, offering valuable insight into their products, services, and the ways we as a community can support and strengthen this essential sector. Each participating manufacturer will also have the opportunity to showcase their work through a display table, giving attendees a closer look at the craftsmanship, innovation, and technology driving Northfield’s economy.
