WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) announced a new investment in the Ohio Manufacturing Extension Partnership to provide manufacturing extension services to primarily small and medium-sized manufacturers in the state of Ohio, with a focus on operational excellence, advanced manufacturing technologies, cybersecurity, and worker engagement such as apprenticeships. The National Institute of Standards and Technology awarded $6,076,983 through the Manufacturing Extension Partnership Program.
