The annual awards recognize companies that contribute to the Massachusetts economy through job creation, facility expansion, investment, community engagement, and commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The 2026 winners were selected following site visits and evaluations by regional judging teams.
PI received the gold award for its continued investment in advanced manufacturing, engineering, and cleanroom capabilities at its U.S. headquarters in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts. The expansion supports the development and production of high-precision motion systems used in semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace, photonics, life sciences, and advanced research.
“PI is proud to receive this recognition from MassEcon,” said Matt Reck, Co-Managing Director of PI USA. “Massachusetts is home to outstanding engineering talent and a culture of innovation. Our continued investment in Shrewsbury reflects our dedication to expanding high-tech manufacturing and supporting skilled employees in the region.”
Award recipients will be celebrated during the 22nd Annual Team Massachusetts Economic Impact Awards ceremony on April 16, 2026, at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
