The announcements were made during the fifth annual Massachusetts Manufacturing Mash-Up, an event that brings together companies, students and state officials to discover opportunities and foster partnerships within the manufacturing sector.
“The Massachusetts Manufacturing Mash-Up is paving the way for a strong and connected manufacturing sector by providing an essential forum for companies, innovators and future talent to engage and collaborate,” Healey said. “Our state is lucky to have such a well-rounded ecosystem. MMAP is enabling the growth and modernization of manufacturers across Massachusetts.”
The MMAP grants will fund equipment and technological upgrades, allowing the companies to enhance efficiency, boost production and integrate automation into their operations.
The funding is expected to create up to 153 new jobs and provide upskilling opportunities for up to 164 employees statewide.
