Innovative. Diverse. High Tech. Maryland’s nearly four thousand manufacturers are powered by a highly-skilled workforce of more than a hundred thousand people. Surprised? You’re not alone. Propelled by people, computers, and robotics, the Fourth Industrial Revolution is here. Yet, if you ask the average person to imagine a factory, outdated images of turn-of-the-century smokestacks persevere.    

Join Maryland Public Television and host Andrew Michael for Made in Maryland to explore some of the state’s most inventive manufacturing facilities, and find out how they became part of today’s complex global supply chain. Visit the company making a jet engine - that has no moving parts. Discover the next generation of textile manufacturing where famous brand apparel is made on demand. See how plastic vacuum forming is key to creating custom marine parts for boats, and how an entrepreneur who won her customers over with a highly prized cake is on a mission to incubate businesses that employ minorities. Go back in time to when a local aviation company was born and ruled the skies, and meet eastern shore artists and builders whose passion of chasing sound turns raw lumber into gorgeous instruments. 

From product design to delivery, find out how it’s all made—in Maryland.
