Think your company did something worth recognizing this year?

MassMEP is a proud sponsor of the Manufacturer of the Year Awards, which recognize Massachusetts manufacturers making an impact across the Commonwealth. The awards are presented by the Massachusetts Legislative Manufacturing Caucus, co-chaired by State Representative Jeffrey N. Roy and Senator Paul R. Feeney, as part of the Massachusetts Manufacturing Mash-Up, happening October 27 at Gillette Stadium.

If you're a Massachusetts manufacturer that should be considered, reach out to your local State Representative and ask about being nominated.
