Sacramento Manufacturing 2026 SUMMER BBQ

The Sacramento Valley Manufacturing Alliance 2026 Summer BBQ invites attendees to kick back, connect, and enjoy an in-person afternoon with regional manufacturing professionals and industry partners. Hosted at Aerometals in El Dorado Hills, the event combines BBQ, conversation, and relaxed networking in a friendly setting for people connected to manufacturing, workforce development, and local business.

Aerometals, the host site for this year’s gathering, has been part of the aircraft parts manufacturing industry for more than four decades. Based in El Dorado Hills, the company serves both commercial and military aerospace markets, including work connected to the Department of Defense and Defense Logistics Agencies. Its operations include CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, welding, advanced composites, chemical processing, electronics, and assembly — making it a significant regional example of high-skill manufacturing close to the Sacramento area.

For residents interested in local industry, workforce development, or career pathways, this event is also a reminder that advanced manufacturing continues to play an important role in the greater Sacramento region. Aerometals employs more than 165 skilled workers, including engineers, mechanics, and aerospace professionals, and companies like this may be worth watching for those exploring technical, engineering, production, or apprenticeship-related opportunities.

Attendees can expect an informal afternoon of BBQ, networking, and conversation with regional manufacturing professionals, sponsors, and workforce partners.
