About Made in NYC

Made In NYC is an initiative of the Pratt Center for Community Development, which is part of Pratt Institute. Made In NYC was launched in the aftermath of 9/11 to encourage NYC-based manufacturers and residents to support one another by buying and sourcing locally. Since then Made In NYC’s network of manufacturers has grown to include over 1,200 members in all five boroughs producing everything from specialty foods to design-driven apparel to cutting edge gadgets. Made In NYC believes the manufacturing sector plays a vital role in building a more equitable local economy by spurring innovation and providing well-paying jobs for NYC’s diverse workforce.
