Meet the 2026 Hottest Thing Made in Arizona! 🔥 Huge congrats to Valley Forge & Bolt, and thanks to @gcu for sponsoring the competition. Great story from @abc15 and @NickCiletti on the Phoenix-made Wireless SPC4 system and the people behind it. Take a look. 🎥👇

Manufacturing investment brings opportunities, but communities need the infrastructure to support it. Rep. @MichaelCarbone helped address that this session with legislation to strengthen the program that funds roads, water systems and other infrastructure for major manufacturing projects. Glad to recognize him as #AZMOY26 Champion of the Year.

🏆 Valley Forge & Bolt’s Wireless SPC4 Load Indicating System is the 2026 Hottest Thing Made in Arizona! Made in Phoenix, it helps operators catch loose industrial fasteners before they cause equipment failures or costly shutdowns. A second honor today for Bret Halley and the team! 🔥Congratulations to all three finalists, and thanks to @gcu and everyone who nominated a product or cast a vote.

Before the big reveal, thank you to @gcu for presenting Hottest Thing Made in Arizona and helping prepare people for manufacturing careers through hands-on learning and industry partnerships. This year’s finalists show just how much variety there is in Arizona manufacturing: ❤️ @SynCardia’s Total Artificial Heart
🔩 Valley Forge & Bolt’s Wireless SPC4 Load Indicating System 🍺 @fatebrewingaz’s Hatch Chile Gatos Golden Ale Congratulations to all three!

Congratulations to @SwireCC, our #AZMOY26 Excellence in Sustainability recipient! From using less water in production to supporting water replenishment projects, Swire is putting its commitment to water stewardship into practice. Important work here in Arizona.

Congratulations to @FlorenceCopper, #AZMOY26 Excellence in Innovation winner! Helping meet America’s growing demand for copper with an approach that uses less water and energy than conventional mining. A big year for the team, and a well-deserved honor!

From a small Tucson dairy to a major family-owned food company, Shamrock Foods has been part of Arizona’s story for more than a century. Today, we’re recognizing them as our Large Manufacturer of the Year. Congratulations to everyone carrying that legacy forward! #AZMOY26

Our #AZMOY26 Arizona Success Story Award goes to Pivot Manufacturing! @pivotmfg and the Phoenix-based team have spent more than two decades building a business that aerospace and defense customers depend on. They continue investing in the equipment and skilled people needed to take on increasingly complex work. Congratulations to the Pivot team!

Arizona manufacturing has given us plenty to celebrate this year. Today, we get to recognize some of the teams behind it. @dbseiden kicks off our Manufacturer of the Year Awards highlighting major new investments and progress on the permitting and infrastructure manufacturers need to grow. Thanks to presenting sponsor @apsFYI, all of today’s sponsors and our friends at Reyes for making #AZMOY26 possible!

🤝 @ShopFloorNAM has been a strong partner to Arizona manufacturers on permitting reform, tax policy and trade. @dbseiden sits down with @erinstreeterNAM to talk about what Arizona is getting right, what Washington needs to get done and how we keep manufacturing investment moving. From getting projects built to strengthening domestic supply chains, plenty to discuss at #AZMOY26.

Congratulations to Valley Forge & Bolt, our #AZMOY26 Small Manufacturer of the Year! What started in a small Phoenix warehouse more than 50 years ago now serves industries around the world. Their technology helps keep equipment running safely and catch problems before they become costly shutdowns. A well-deserved honor for the team.

Thanks to @RepGregStanton for joining Arizona manufacturers for a tour and roundtable discussion at @BenchElec in Tempe today. Appreciate @ShopFloorNAM for working with the Chamber and @AZManufacturing to bring everyone together. Always good to have our manufacturers at the table for conversations with policymakers.
