Governor Branstad and Lt. Governor Reynolds visited Quality Machine of Iowa, Inc. on Oct. 2, 2013 as part of their celebration of National Manufacturing Week (Sept. 30-Oct. 4). Quality Machine was one of ten Iowa manufacturing facilities visited across the state during the week. The tour gave the Governor and Lt. Governor an opportunity to highlight the contributions of Iowa’s manufacturers and their employees and encourage additional job growth through Iowa’s manufacturing sector.

Below are a few pictures from the visit.
