MI2 In the News - January 2026

Along with Louisville Business First and their article on Mike Buckentin’s announcement to the Federal Reserve Board, we’re excited to share that our organization was featured in a WNKY Throwback Thursday highlighting metal, metalworking, and its deep roots in our region and state—an industry that shapes our lives in more ways than we often realize.

We’re also proud to welcome Agile Consulting, whose recent membership announcement received strong syndicated traction.

This kind of media coverage is critical to MI2’s mission, helping elevate the visibility of our members, strengthen the broader manufacturing ecosystem, and reinforce the importance of metalworking to our region’s economic future.
