COMMUNITY CITIZENSHIP

SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY THAT SUSTAINS US

From our humble beginning in the basement of a family home, to establishment of a physical location with two machines, to the present day with dozens of the latest CNC machines, EMI has been fortunate that the conditions for growth were present in our community.

Like any garden, however, favorable conditions for growth must be actively tended and maintained.

Giving back to our communities so that everyone can thrive has long been a big part of who we are and how we pay it forward.

We think of our efforts as investing in growth in three important areas:

    1. Community Economic Opportunities

    2. Manufacturing Education & Skills Development

    3. Supporting People In Our Community

COMMUNITY ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES

It's no secret that vibrant communities need a strong economic foundation.

That's why EMI works closely with a variety of governmental and business groups to support economic development activities in the region.

Here is a partial list of the organizations we've been proud to support in recent years:


    • Metro South Chamber of Commerce – Chairman, 2024-2026
    • Metro South Chamber of Commerce – Board Member
    • Brockton Partnership Group - Board Member
    • Brockton 21st Century Economic Development – Board Member & President
    • Route 24 Tech Hub for Southeastern Massachusetts, Old Colony Planning Council – Member

MANFACTURING EDUCATION & SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

The factory shop floor is evolving and adopting new technologies at an incredible rate.

From factory automation, AI and advanced analytics to IoT, machine learning and next gen quality management, the engine powering tomorrow's growth is a skilled and educated workforce.

For many years EMI has worked closely with area technical schools and colleges to train the next generations of skilled machinists.

Here is a partial list of the schools and programs we support:


    • South Shore Vocational Technical High School – Advisory Committee Member

    • Brockton Area Workforce Investment Board - Member

    • MassHire, 2024-2026 – Chairman

    • Stonehill College Photonics Advisory Board – Member

    • Youth CareerConnect / YouthWorks – Manufacturing Curriculum Development Committee Member

    • Uniquely Abled Academy – Sponsor

    • Norwich University – Board of Fellows

SUPPORTING PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY

The third pillar of EMI's community engagement is investment in people and the human spirit, body and mind.

We are proud to support organizations that promote the best in people and their lives:

    • Special Olympics Winners Circle – Supporter

    • Brockton Museum Music & Arts Festival – Supporter

    • Old Colony YMCA Holiday Gift Drive and Year Round Programs – Supporter

    • Brockton High School Athletics Programs – Supporter

    • Brockton Rox – Supporter

In addition, EMI sponsors a variety of golf tournaments, fishing competitions and other events that raise funds for a huge range of charities that support research into cancer, multiple sclerosis, juvenile diabetes, and much more.

Last, but not least, EMI seeks to leave a light environmental footprint by using only water-soluble machining coolants, and recycling paper and raw material waste. Because that helps people in our community and beyond.
