Matt Reck, Co-President of PI USA, accepted the award at the Team Massachusetts Economic Impact Awards reception held at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA, in April. The annual awards recognize companies that strengthen the Massachusetts economy through job creation, facility expansion, investment, community engagement, and a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Winners are selected following site visits and evaluations conducted by regional judging panels.
PI received the Gold Award in recognition of its continued investment in advanced manufacturing, engineering, and cleanroom capabilities at its U.S. headquarters in Shrewsbury, MA. The expansion enhances the company’s ability to develop and produce high-precision motion systems for semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace, photonics, life sciences, and advanced research applications.
“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.
