Kennedy Valve recently celebrated National Manufacturing Day by sponsoring "Made in the Southern Tier" event with the Chemung County Chamber of Commerce. According to the chamber, "The initiative is well-established and far-reaching, and its mission is particularly vital for Chemung County, a community that's fortunate to have an exceptionally strong manufacturing base."

As a presenting sponsor, Kennedy Valve welcomed more than 25 students from local schools, including SUNY College, Binghamton University and Corning-Painted Post High School, for an introduction and facility tour from Assistant General Manager Alex Fresonke. In addition to the tour, students and faculty could also attend a private Expo with manufacturing demonstrations and more.
