Micron Solutions Awarded MMAP Grant to Advance Manufacturing Operations

On October 21st, 2025, Micron Solutions received grant funding from the Massachusetts Manufacturing Accelerate Program (MMAP) during a ceremony at Gillette Stadium. The award represents a major step forward for the company and provides resources to make strategic capital investments that have been in development. 

TL;DR: Micron Solutions was awarded a $200,000 MMAP capital matching grant on October 21st at Gillette Stadium to support capital investments and advance manufacturing capabilities for Industry 4.0 demands. 

What Is the Massachusetts Manufacturing Accelerate Program (MMAP)? 

MMAP was created to help Massachusetts-based small- to medium-sized manufacturers prepare for the evolving demands of modern manufacturing. The program focuses on companies ready to embrace Industry 4.0 technologies and align their operations with key industries throughout the state. 

MMAP’s practical structure makes it different from other funding opportunities. Grant funds can be used for capital expenditures under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), which means manufacturers can invest in equipment, technology systems, and infrastructure that directly enhance production capabilities. 

Support from the State of Massachusetts 

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has demonstrated sustained commitment to maintaining a competitive manufacturing sector. MMAP reflects that commitment by addressing a real challenge: the gap between current capabilities and what's needed to compete in an increasingly sophisticated market. 

Many manufacturers have the expertise and vision to advance their operations but face barriers when it comes to accessing capital for necessary upgrades. MMAP removes that barrier for qualifying companies, creating opportunities for growth that might otherwise take years to realize. 

For specialized manufacturers like Micron (which produces components for critical applications including medical research), this support enables continued innovation in high-precision manufacturing. 

Our Appreciation  

Our team at Micron wants to thank the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the MMAP program administrators. At a time when bringing manufacturing back to the United States is more critical than ever, initiatives like MMAP demonstrate what's possible when state governments invest in domestic production. These programs help strengthen the entire manufacturing ecosystem and contribute to rebuilding America's industrial base. 

The selection process for MMAP grants is highly competitive, so being chosen reflects both the strength of the application and the potential that program administrators see in Micron’s role in Massachusetts' manufacturing future. Our commitment to quality standards and operational excellence has positioned us well for this next phase of growth. 

How Micron Will Be Implementing the MMAP Grant 

This $200,000 grant will allow Micron Solutions to accelerate initiatives at our facility on 25 Sawyer Passway in Fitchburg. Projects that might have taken years to fund can now move forward much sooner… and in manufacturing, that timing advantage can make all the difference.
