Butler County Sheltered Workshop

 The mission of Manufacturers Assistance Group is to provide a productive employment opportunity to lower range educable and upper level trainable mentally challenged adults over the age of 16 who have a productive capacity in a sheltered workshop environment but whose capacities are such that there is little or no prospect that vocational rehabilitation training could develop their potentials sufficiently to make them realistically employable in competitive industry.  Manufacturers Assistance Group was incorporated on June 21, 1966 and has continued to provide continuous employment to handicapped individuals since that time.  The business operates in a modern 40,000 square facility at 3080 Cravens Road in Poplar Bluff, MO.  Manufacturers Assistance Group has a service area of all of Butler County, Missouri.
