Today, MACNY, The Manufacturers Association, announced the opening of its Mohawk Valley office in New Hartford, NY, marking an exciting new chapter in the organization’s continued growth and commitment to supporting manufacturers across New York State.

MACNY welcomed manufacturers, community partners, educators, and local leaders to recognize its expanded presence in the Mohawk Valley and its shared commitment to strengthening the region’s manufacturing ecosystem. The new office enhances MACNY’s longstanding investment in the region while expanding access to industry resources, advocacy efforts, and talent development initiatives.

“This new office reflects our long-term commitment to the manufacturers, educators, and community partners who make the Mohawk Valley such an important part of New York’s manufacturing ecosystem,” said Randy Wolken, President & CEO of MACNY. “By expanding our presence in the region, we’re strengthening our ability to support growth and industry collaboration.”

The expansion also supports the continued growth of the Manufacturers Talent Institute (MTI), MACNY’s talent development engine that connects students, educators, and job seekers with in-demand manufacturing careers while helping employers build a strong, sustainable workforce pipeline.

“As manufacturing continues to evolve, having a stronger regional presence allows us to better support employers and strengthen connections between education, training, and career opportunities,” said Michael Frame, Executive Vice President of MACNY and Executive Director of Manufacturers Talent Institute (MTI). “This expansion will help us continue building the workforce pipeline needed to meet the demands of the future.”

The event featured remarks from MACNY leadership and community partners, followed by an official ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the new office and expanded regional commitment.
