Resilience of Local Manufacturing

Local manufacturers have weathered years of growing challenges and an ever-changing economic landscape, yet they continue to pursue their passions, create jobs and contribute to our communities. This event is a celebration of their resilience!

Join us at Standard Deviant Brewing in Building 12 at Pier 70 as we celebrate the tenacity of local manufacturing.

Pier 70 and Building 12 have a long and rich history in manufacturing, and provides the perfect backdrop for our celebration. Serving as a major shipbuilding hub in the 19th and 20th centuries, Pier 70, Building 12 remains and is now a monumental development inspiring the next generation of manufacturers. The building also demonstrates the vital role that manufacturing plays in our community’s economic growth, our resilience, and our ability to move forward successfully together.

About SFMade

SFMade Is a 501(C)3 Nonprofit Organization Supporting Local Manufacturers Since 2010. Our mission is to help manufacturers thrive, innovate, and create good jobs, for a more diverse and sustainable Bay Area.

For over 15 years, SFMade has served local manufacturers providing vital resources, expertise, and support to makers who have historically lacked access to traditional funding and business development opportunities.

We believe that when makers stay local, magic happens: It strengthens communities, expands equitable opportunities, creates quality jobs that benefit individuals and families, and contributes to the city's vibrancy. Our network of over 750 local manufacturers in San Francisco, San Jose, and the East Bay sustains more than 10,000 jobs.
