About the Manufacturing Advancement Center

Manufacturing in Massachusetts represents 33% of the non-governmental payroll and 24% of the total jobs in this region. To stay competitive, we need to maintain a solid manufacturing base - for the innovation it brings and for the widespread effect it has on our entire economy, including the service sector.

The Manufacturing Advancement Center is here to help small manufacturers in New England implement continuous improvement throughout their businesses. Our programs and services cover a wide range of essential topics, such as hands-on training in lean manufacturing, creating partnerships for technology transfer, and developing strategic plans for the manufacturing organization.

We sponsor the annual Manufacturing Our Future Summit, present a series of business and manufacturing development seminars, publish the MAC Action Newsline newsletter, and work closely with the MassMEP to bring the benefits of lean manufacturing to the entire area.
