Georgia Manufacturing Expo and APICS Atlanta have teamed up to offer a tour of the Anheuser Busch Brewery in Cartersville, Georgia next month.

The tour will take place February 20, 2014 and is open to the public with registration. Anheuser Busch operates twelve brewing facilities in the United States. The two organizations are working together to show the type of quality products the Georgia manufacturing industry produces.

The mission of each organization directly involves the manufacturing industry. While APICS addresses issues dealing with operations management and supply chain management, GME focuses specifically on the industry in Georgia, highlighting the people, plants, and products that are made throughout the state. Plant tours are part of GME's initiative to educate consumers on the items they may purchase everyday that are made in Georgia.

"We have these tours to continuously educate people on the quality items coming from the manufacturing industry in Georgia, not just during the Expo itself but throughout the entire year," said Jason Moss of GME.

As advocates for the manufacturing industry, APICS Atlanta and GME will sponsor future tours at other manufacturing plants. Attendees of this year's upcoming Georgia Manufacturing Expo should expect to see companies like Anheuser Busch and hundreds of others with their Georgia-made products and services. The Expo will happen June 13-14 at the Gwinnett Center.
