Did You Know? Buffalo Grove is a Regional Leader in Advanced Manufacturing
The manufacturing industry is an economic engine for Buffalo Grove. With over 3,000 workers, manufacturing is the leading industry employer and is showing signs of growth.
Driving Buffalo Grove' s manufacturing base and growth is the prevalence of advanced manufacturing.
Approximately 40% of the manufacturing firms in Buffalo Grove are classified as pharmacy/medical supply, computer electronics, and machinery. These are considered the top three subindustries in advanced manufacturing. The prevalence of manufacturing jobs provides economic benefits to the Village.
Economists estimate that each manufacturing job creates between two and five additional jobs in related and unrelated industries.
