History

In January 1970, the publication changed its name and focus again, this time to IndustryWeek. Between 1970 and 2000, its tag line and publication frequency changed several times, finally settling to a monthly format in 2001. Over 125 years of publishing history and throughout its different incarnations, IndustryWeek has been a fixture in the U.S. manufacturing community.
