BOSTON, MA – Oct 1, 2024 – State Representative Brian Ashe recently announced that McGill Hose & Coupling, Inc. is a 2024 recipient of the “Making it in Massachusetts” Manufacturing Award presented by the Massachusetts Legislative Manufacturing Caucus. This award is given in recognition of outstanding leadership skills in the manufacturing industry. The company was presented with this award at the 9th Annual Manufacturing Awards Ceremony on Wednesday, September 25th at the Massachusetts Manufacturing Mash-Up at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA.

Each year, the Massachusetts Legislative Manufacturing Caucus hosts the Manufacturing Awards Ceremony to highlight many of the Commonwealth’s most noteworthy manufacturers and celebrate their successes as leading manufacturers in the industry. This recognition is reserved for Commonwealth manufacturers that exemplify what it means to “make it in Massachusetts” and propel their industry towards continued growth and innovation. This year, over 50 diverse manufacturers were selected by legislators from across the Commonwealth to be recognized at the awards ceremony.

Formed in August 2014, the Manufacturing Caucus includes more than 60 legislators from around the Commonwealth. Lawmakers focus on training for manufacturing employees, encouraging innovation by helping start-ups access resources, and expanding apprenticeship opportunities in key manufacturing sectors. The Caucus is chaired by Representative Jeffrey N. Roy (D-Franklin) and Senator Paul R. Feeney (D-Foxborough).

The Massachusetts Manufacturing Mash-Up, where the awards were hosted, is a conference run by the Center for Advanced Manufacturing (CAM) at the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative (MassTech), along with MassMEP, MassRobotics, Forge, WPI and the MassHire boards to kick-off October’s manufacturing month. The Mash-Up is an opportunity for partners and industry to come together to help accelerate advanced manufacturing and celebrate all our successes here in the Commonwealth. The event offers numerous opportunities to meet new businesses or partners, find the resources to help our manufacturers succeed, and gain the knowledge to join the advanced manufacturing world in which we now operate.

“Manufacturing is an economic engine in Massachusetts, and today’s event underscores that we are firing on all cylinders,” said Senate President Karen E. Spilka (D-Ashland). “Our manufacturers are creating products that are changing the game in industries like healthcare, green technology, and transportation. The result is innovative and socially responsible products, while providing good, high-paying jobs for residents right here in Massachusetts. I’m thankful to Senator Feeney for his steadfast leadership and advocacy for manufacturers, Representative Roy, and the entire caucus, and congratulate every nominee for their hard work.”

“From groundbreaking work in the life sciences industry, to unparalleled innovation in the production of renewable energy, to the development of game changing technology across so many sectors of our economy, Massachusetts has a manufacturing industry to be incredibly proud of,” said House Speaker Ronald J. Mariano (D-Quincy). “I want to thank Representative Roy, Senator Feeney, and the entire manufacturing caucus, as well as partners like MassTech Collaborative and MassMEP for the work that they continue to do to ensure that the manufacturing industry in Massachusetts can continue to grow and succeed.”

“Our state is a leader in manufacturing and home to some of the best companies advancing the most cutting-edge technologies in the world,” said Economic Development Secretary Yvonne Hao. “Through our partners at MassTech and with federal support for the Northeast Microelectronics Hub, our state is playing a leading role in the future of advanced manufacturing. This is an exciting time for manufacturers in Massachusetts, thank you for being part of Team Massachusetts and congratulations to this year’s award winners.”

“Massachusetts is proudly home to many of the world’s most talented, innovative and advanced manufacturers,” said Senator Paul R. Feeney (D-Foxborough), Senate Chair of the Legislature’s Manufacturing Caucus. It was an honor to recognize 58 of these companies at our annual awards ceremony for their outstanding contributions to the Commonwealth and for exemplifying what it means to ‘make it in Massachusetts.’ From world class breweries to cutting edge prosthetics, companies in Massachusetts are changing the world and continue to challenge what’s possible. Chair Roy and I offer our heartfelt thanks to the companies in attendance, their talented workforces and all Massachusetts manufacturers for keeping the Commonwealth strongly positioned to meet the challenges of tomorrow.”

“Manufacturing in the Commonwealth provides high-paying jobs, contributes significantly to the state’s economy, and plays a vital role in driving innovation and technological advancements,” said State Representative Jeffrey N. Roy (D-Franklin), House Chair of the Legislature’s Manufacturing Caucus. “Manufacturing output here is at its highest level in history and accounts for about 10 percent of the state’s economy and employs about 6% of the workforce with $56 billion in manufactured goods exported from the Commonwealth each year. Today, we are proud to honor these companies and meet the dedicated men and women who make our economy soar and contribute to these statistics. These manufacturers are examples of what it means to Make it in Massachusetts.”

“Massachusetts companies benefit from a state that engages with the private sector to catalyze collaborations with non-profit partners and provide the resources needed to support growth in manufacturing,” said Deputy Director and Chief Investment Strategist, and Acting Director, Center for Advanced Manufacturing Ben Linville-Engler. “The continued support of the Joint Legislative Manufacturing Caucus is highlighted with today’s award ceremony at the MA Manufacturing Mash-Up under the leadership of Sen. Feeney and Rep. Roy, who also participate in the Commonwealth’s Advanced Manufacturing Collaborative.”

“As we celebrate the ninth year of the Manufacturing Awards, it is truly inspiring to see how our manufacturing community continues to innovate, adapt, and thrive. These awards highlight the remarkable contributions of manufacturers who are not only driving economic growth in Massachusetts but also setting a national standard for excellence,” said Kathie Mahoney, President/CEO of MassMEP.

“We are deeply honored to receive the Excellence in Manufacturing award, a recognition that underscores our unwavering dedication to producing high-quality hose and fluid handling solutions for over 60 years. At McGill Hose & Coupling, we take pride in our commitment to innovation, safety, and customer satisfaction.
