MFG Inaugural Happy Hour – Baltimore Snap

December 2, 2019

MFG Inaugural Happy Hour

*Featured Event*

The gathering at Little Havana was a chance to meet and greet at the first get-together for members of the Maryland Manufacturing Collaborative – a new industry organization for Maryland manufacturers.

Members mingled and compared notes on a number of shared interests and issues…

…and heard more about the organization’s purpose and benefits.

In addition to the bar, folks could grab a cold drink from the MFG robot cooler…manufactured in Maryland, of course.

The Maryland Manufacturing Collaborative is a forum for manufacturers to come together and discuss issues, share resources and solve the challenges we are facing. Manufacturers are the most innovative problem solvers in the world and must be a vital, growing part of Maryland’s economy. Whether it’s workforce, automation or strategic initiatives with local and state organizations, manufacturers will band together under the Collaborative to get results.
