Precision Flow Technologies (PFT), a global provider of design and manufacturing outsourcing solutions and branded products for the renewable energy, semiconductor and life science industries, has been invited to participate on the Ulster County Manufacturing Council.
New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has recently announced proposed legislation, which includes Made in America grants to bolster high-tech companies for all of New York and to support important manufacturing related initiatives including the creation of the Working Group on Advanced Manufacturing. The Senator has appointed Ulster County Executive Mike Hein to serve on this Working Group.
To help focus on the importance of local manufacturing, Ulster County Executive Mike Hein and New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand have pledged their support of local companies, especially those in high-tech industries. By creating the Ulster County Manufacturing Council, the county and state governments are continuing the initiative to further encourage high-tech manufacturing companies including those in the Hudson Valley.
In order to best advocate for Ulster County manufacturers and advise the Senator on advanced manufacturing issues, I am creating the Ulster County Manufacturing Council, said County Executive Hein. Ulster County has a long manufacturing history, and is currently home to companies that are on the cutting edge of manufacturing. I will look to some of the influential leaders from our business community who I am appointing to my Manufacturing Council to obtain their valuable insight.
One of the members of the council is Precision Flow Technologies President Kevin Brady. Precision Flow Technologies is pleased to be part of this Council and we look forward to working with Ulster County, New York State and the other members of the Council to best help promote and support local and regional high-tech businesses, said Precision Flow Technologies President Kevin Brady. We appreciate the County Executives initiative to continue to focus on making the Hudson Valley a nationally known area for high-tech businesses specifically those that are involved in the solar, LED, and semiconductor industries.
The Manufacturing Council is expected to meet twice per year with the County Executive to provide insights and advice on issues such as workforce, access to capital and business impediments. The first meeting will be in October and will take place at the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering in Albany, NY.
