Joining America Makes gives us the opportunity to contribute through collaboration, technology development, workforce growth, and greater transparency across the supply chain. We are proud to be part of an organisation focused on advancing US manufacturing competitiveness,” said Nate Harris, VP of Sales, North America, Mastrex.

Mastrex plans to contribute to collaborative initiatives through America Makes while continuing to develop its PBF-LB machines, with a focus on performance, flexibility and accessibility.
