Manufacturer of the Year
‘Manufacturer of the Year’
The Elaine Marieb Center was honored as Manufacturer of the Year in the Third Hampshire District — which includes Amherst and two precincts in Granby— by the Massachusetts Legislature’s Manufacturing Caucus.
The Manufacturing Caucus is a collection of more than 70 state legislators who focus on training manufacturing employees, encouraging- aging innovation by helping start-ups access resources and expanding apprenticeship opportunities in key manufacturing sectors.
The Marieb Center was selected by Third Hampshire District Representative Mindy Domb, who said it “represents not only a new and compelling approach to research and development but also transforms the scope and impact of healthcare device manufacturing by engaging the voices of nurses and patients directly into this process.”
The award was presented to Marieb Center co-directors Karen Giuliano and Frank Sup on Sept. 19, 2023, at the 8th annual “Making It in Massachusetts” Manufacturing Awards Ceremony, held at Polar Park, home of the Worcester Red Sox.
