Triton Systems developed an adhesive technology that had the potential for multiple military applications and needed assistance in pursuing the development of specific products while also continuing to identify new product opportunities.

Growth Manufacturers Case Study
The Challenge
With the assistance of MassMEP, part of the MEP National Network™, Triton Systems was able to utilize OEA grant funds, through a grant with MassDevelopment, to hire two specific technical consultants to help with this effort. As a result, Triton has been able to bring one product development effort all the way to successful approval for implementation on a military platform, and another product is in the final testing and validation phase. MassMEP also conducted a TDMI session with Triton to identify new market applications and Triton has started initial testing to exploit those new product opportunities.
Triton is already manufacturing these products at scale and with strict Quality Control (QC), and has established a network of partnerships across the entire supply chain. This has positioned Triton to deliver scaled-up products rapidly to the Department of Defense market.

With MassMEP
MassMEP along with Associated Industries of Massachusetts (AIM) provided training resulting in a transformational, company-wide training program that went way beyond just the shop floor. The customized training program changed the mindset within the company from reactionary to one with a clear business model and strategic goals. The training provided the company with clear training goals and objectives. Now, all new hires go through a whole week of training. New employees spend at least 30 minutes with each department, plus lunch with the owners. They also conduct a 30-60-90 day check in periods with new employees.
