Utah Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Initiative (UAMMI) opened a new office in Price, Utah, U.S., on June 2 to better serve the advanced manufacturing businesses in southeastern and eastern Utah.
“UAMMI is expanding our services to include all of Utah, especially the coal communities,” according to Dr. Tulinda Larsen, executive director, UAMMI. The non-profit public-private partnership has a mission to elevate advanced manufacturing in Utah. Funding for UAMMI comes from federal grants and Utah state appropriations so that companies are not charged for membership or services.
UAMMI says it will use the Price office for outreach to manufacturers in eastern and southeastern Utah and plans to offer monthly workshops to introduce manufacturers in the regions to opportunities to grow their
business, find and retain workers and learn about new technologies.
Some of these information sessions will include:
- Manufacturing Workforce Development Programs to Find and Keep Workers
- History and Future Composites: Composites 101
- Future of Coal Being Used for Carbon Fiber
- Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) For Prototyping
- Introduction to Industry 4.0: Automation & Advanced Manufacturing
- Grant Funding Strategies for Manufacturing.
