Join the Innovative Manufacturers’ Center (IMC) and PDC Spas for our October 2026 PM Exchange as we celebrate National Manufacturing Month and the strength of manufacturing right here in Central Pennsylvania.

For more than 38 years, IMC has supported Central PA manufacturers through expert guidance in continuous improvement, training, technology integration, quality, safety, and more. This special PM Exchange offers an opportunity to connect with fellow manufacturers, business professionals, and local industry leaders while getting an inside look at one of the region’s long-standing manufacturers.

PDC Spas has been proudly manufacturing in Pennsylvania since 1957. What began as Plastic Development Company has grown into an industry-leading manufacturer of American-made hot tubs, swim spas, and hydrotherapy products distributed throughout the United States.

During the event, guests will have the opportunity to tour the PDC Spas manufacturing facility in Williamsport and see firsthand how their products are made from start to finish. The tour will showcase how PDC Spas combines decades of manufacturing experience with modern processes and continued innovation.

Guests will enjoy refreshments and networking while connecting with others who are helping strengthen and grow manufacturing throughout our region.

Come celebrate American manufacturing, innovation, craftsmanship, and the people behind it with IMC and PDC Spas.

IMC looks forward to welcoming you to PDC Spas and celebrating National Manufacturing Month together!
