PA MAX Manufacturing Kick-off Hosted at HAMR

We had the opportunity to welcome Senator Devlin Robinson, our local representative Valerie Gaydos, and other members critical to PA commerce to Neighborhood 91 this week. The event kicked off the passage of the MAX Manufacturing Initiative Act, which is designed to support growth of advanced manufacturing in the state. This will be carried out through investments in infrastructure which facilitate collaborations and technology transfer between Universities and businesses in the state.

Pittsburgh was at one time a leader in steel making. Advanced manufacturing will simultaneously bring the city backs to its roots, while also pushing it forward into Industry 4.0 with new opportunities for skilled workers, engineers, supporting staff, and downstream finishing services.

Initiatives like this are critical to fostering economic growth in Pennsylvania, particularly for small businesses operating in the capital intensive advanced manufacturing arena. Along with our neighbors Cumberland Additive, Inc. , Metal Powder Works, and RJ Lee Group, we look forward to demonstrating the power of advanced manufacturing at Neighborhood 91.
