Winners will be announced in our April 1st edition. <strong>2019 Summit Theme: </strong><strong>Finding ways to grow in the face of the manufacturing workforce challenge:<a href="https://massmep.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Rosalin.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-6461 alignright" src="https://massmep.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Rosalin-300x152.jpg" alt="" width="464" height="235" /></a></strong> Low unemployment, a horde of retiring baby boomers and demographic shifts in the workforce have all conspired to make it difficult for manufacturers to fill open positions. While this structural challenge is not unique to manufacturing and has been around for some time, companies around the state have been finding creative solutions to being more productive and finding ways to grow. We’ll explore some of the creative solutions that have been implemented and how they are working. <strong>Don’t miss this special event and the opportunity to network with industry leaders, and celebrate the 2019 Central Mass "Manufacturing Excellence Award” honorees - register today!</strong> <em>Stay tuned - additional speaker line-up coming soon!</em> </div>   </div> [mep_register url="http://www.wbjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/dcce?Site=WB&Date=20160114&Module=2&Category=EVENT&Class=2&Type=PBManufacturing&ID=450791&Selected=11"]

The workforce is hearing about the factory of the future. And they are wondering what role they will play in the new operating model.</p> <p style="text-align: left">Some leaders suggest that i4.0 might be a potential competitive differentiator, helping position their company as a Ôcool & diverse’ place to work. How does i4.0 play a role in our workforce challenges of today? What are companies doing to entice new workers? What are companies doing to drive diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workforce? Join us for this complimentary event where we will explore how to attract new talent to the industrial sector; how to position your company as data-driven and highly innovative, and how to create a diverse and inclusive workforce.</p> [mep_register url="https://my.aimnet.org/Register-for-an-Event-Class/Meeting-Home-Page?MeetingId=%7b4947C521-2122-ED11-8123-000D3A044486%7d"]   <p style="text-align: center"><strong>Panelists:</strong></p> [gallery ids="https://massmep.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Mary-Cronin-Headshot-hi-rez-scaled.jpg|Mary Cronin - 6K Inc., VP Goverment Affairs,https://massmep.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Screen-Shot-2022-10-07-at-10.06.18-AM.png|Ben Armstrong - MIT, Executive Director,https://massmep.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Freddii-headshot-scaled.jpg|Fredericka Butler - Takeda, Head of Human Resources,https://massmep.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Screen-Shot-2022-10-07-at-10.08.58-AM.png|Kerry Bowie - Browning the Green Space, Founder, President, and Executive Director,https://massmep.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Screen-Shot-2022-10-07-at-10.10.19-AM.png|Christie Bluhm - CLA, Principal,https://massmep.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Regis-Lino-Kelly-Photo.jpg|Regis Lino-Kelly - Shark Ninja, Test Engineer"]

Did you know these tax incentive options existed for Manufacturers looking to grow?

<p style="text-align: center"><img class="alignnone wp-image-27736 size-medium" src="https://massmep.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/9.29.22-HIRES-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></p> <strong>Tax Incentives for Real Estate Expansion Projects </strong> Manufacturing companies that have expansion plans may benefit from a variety of state and local tax incentives. Whether a company plans to renovate an existing facility, relocate, construct a new facility, create or retain jobs, there are available resources that can help to reduce the cost associated with a real estate investment. With the surge of increased construction and labor costs, rising gas prices and interest rates, these tax incentives more than ever for businesses. By leveraging tax incentives, companies can save thousands – or even millions – of dollars. However, timing is essential. Otherwise, companies could leave substantial cash on the table. In this webinar, Lynn Tokarczyk, government tax incentives consultant and president of Business Development Strategies, Inc., will discuss how to identify, negotiate, and secure valuable government tax incentives, including: <ul> <li>State Tax Credits</li> <li>State Abandoned Building Tax Deductions</li> <li>Municipal Tax Increment Financing (TIF)</li> <li>Municipal Personal Property Tax Relief</li> <li>Municipal Special Tax Assessment (STA)</li> </ul> [mep_register url="https://massmep-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_bxduAwqNTqaMphrpOTEruQ"]

As part of that, the top two subjects Massachusetts manufacturers are looking for more insight with hands on training are, Agile & DFM. MassMEP offers a two part module workshop designed for the Massachusetts Manufacturing Industry. <strong>Module two of the series:</strong> Design for Manufacturability, DFM, the benefits of different manufacturing processes and the effect of cost based on the manufacturing process and tooling consideration. The Value Engineering Methodology evaluates the different manufacturing processes, tooling consideration and labor content to establish overall cost to decide on the most economical overall price. <em><strong>Please note this is One Module that is a two-day training module for each topic. That being written, this workshop requires both days in both modules are to be completed for the full training package. As an attendee you will need to schedule time to attend the training over the four day, eight-hour training time. Example: I will be in training for Agile, May 19th & 26th and in training for DFM, June 9th & 16th.</strong></em> Please note that it is strongly recommended that you participate in both of these modules to receive the full package of the training.
