“The Kansas Manufacturing Council launched the Coolest Thing Made in Kansas contest in 2020 to raise awareness about the state’s manufacturing industry and the great career opportunities it offers,” said KMC Executive Director Brandie McPherson. “The tournament also is a great way to learn about the many products manufactured in Kansas. Some may surprise Kansans.”

 

This year’s Coolest Thing Made in Kansas competition also includes the Coolest Innovation category. The KMC announced the four finalists for the new category last month.

 

The winners of both contests will be announced on Wednesday, October 13th during the 2022 Kansas Manufacturing Summit at the Kansas Star Casino and Event Center. The 16 manufacturers featured in the tournament are invited to display their products during the Coolest Celebration Reception the night before the summit.
