Modern Line Furniture Recognized at New Jersey’s Largest Manufacturing Celebration
Proud Nominee at NJMEP’s “Made in New Jersey” Manufacturing Day 2025
On October 3, 2025, Modern Line Furniture joined hundreds of industry leaders, educators, and public officials at the 13th Annual “Made in New Jersey” Manufacturing Day, hosted by the New Jersey Manufacturing Extension Program (NJMEP) at iPlay America in Freehold, NJ. The event—recognized as the state’s largest celebration of manufacturing—brought together innovators, policymakers, and manufacturers from across the Garden State to highlight the strength and future of New Jersey’s manufacturing sector.
Modern Line Furniture was honored to be nominated in two categories this year:
Manufacturer of the Year – Small Business
Rising Star Award – Yana Katliarova, CFO of Modern Line Furniture
These nominations reflect the company’s ongoing dedication to U.S. manufacturing excellence, continuous innovation, and its contributions to New Jersey’s growing industrial community.
Celebrating New Jersey’s Manufacturing Strength
Each year, Made in New Jersey Manufacturing Day celebrates the companies, teams, and individuals that keep New Jersey’s manufacturing industry thriving. Hosted by NJMEP, the event aims to inspire the next generation of makers while recognizing established leaders who continue to invest in workforce development, advanced production methods, and local economic growth.
Modern Line Furniture’s team, led by CEO Vlad Spivak and CFO Yana Katliarova, was proud to participate, showcasing the company’s story of U.S.-based production and its commitment to creating sustainable, high-quality commercial furniture right here in New Jersey.
Conversations That Shape the Future
The event provided a rare opportunity for direct dialogue between business owners and policymakers.
Both gubernatorial candidates shared their visions for manufacturing in the state, emphasizing the need for greater investment in vocational education, workforce training, and local production initiatives.
Representing Modern Line Furniture, Yana Katliarova engaged in meaningful discussions with both candidates about the real-world challenges and opportunities faced by manufacturers today—from workforce development to supply chain stability and the importance of keeping production in the United States.
“Even though we did not win in either category, we had a great experience showcasing our display and meeting both Mikie Sherrill and Jack Ciattarelli. We had the opportunity to discuss the future of manufacturing in New Jersey and the importance of supporting local producers,” said Yana Katliarova, CFO of Modern Line Furniture.
