The May 17 event drew more than 250 attendees from more than 130 Maine companies to Lost Valley Ski Area in Auburn to honor the top manufacturers in the state and set industry priorities.
This year’s theme was “Shaping the Future: Powering Growth.”MAME outlined its plan for a multi-year Business Retention and Expansion strategy, an industry and private-sector funded program to help Maine manufacturing companies attract and retain skilled employees and expand into new markets.
