The expansion unfolded in two phases, beginning in 2021 and culminating in 2025, positioning MMG Extrusions to meet surging demand from both existing and new customers, including manufacturers reshoring their extrusion operations.

Phase 1: Doubling Production Capacity

The first phase centered on a $19 million investment in a state-of-the-art 2,920-ton, 8-inch extrusion line manufactured by Italy-based Presezzi Extrusion Group. Installed in March 2022, this fully automated press line doubled MMG Extrusions’ annual output capacity to 55 million pounds of custom aluminum profiles.

“The addition of the second 8-inch press line was pivotal to meeting the surge in demand for custom extruded aluminum profiles that followed the pandemic,” said Andrew Curland, President of MMG Extrusions. “We’re now responding to a significant demand increase from our long-term customer base and an influx of new business from companies reshoring their extrusion manufacturing.”

In addition to the new extrusion press, phase one also included relocating and expanding its value-add fabrication and machining operations to a nearby 50,000 sq ft building.

Phase 2: Full Process Automation and Facility Expansion

Building on the success of Phase 1, the company launched Phase 2 in 2022, investing an additional $11 million in infrastructure and automation technology. This phase included a $6 million construction project that added 35,000 square feet of manufacturing and logistical support space to the existing 115,000-square-foot facility, bringing the total extrusion plant footprint to 150,000 square feet.

The facility expansion included six loading bays equipped with overhead cranes supplied by Mass Overhead Crane, significantly improving the efficiency of moving packed extrusions onto trailers. The expanded space also features enhanced employee amenities, including new breakrooms and locker rooms.

Revolutionary Automation System

The centerpiece of Phase 2 was a $5 million investment in a new automated aging system and packing line supplied by Belco Industries, creating what is believed to be one of the industry’s most comprehensive automated material flow systems. The installation enables extrusion production and packaging to be fully automated from extrusion through shipping, reducing labor requirements while dramatically improving throughput and safety.

Integrated Manufacturing Capabilities

Beyond extrusion capacity, MMG Extrusions has continued to expand and upgrade its machining, fabrication, and assembly operations to support manufacturers seeking a comprehensive production partner. Recent strategic investments totaling over $5 million include:

• Two fully automated 5-axis CNC machining centers designed specifically for single-step processing of extruded aluminum components
• One Trumpf 7000 Series Tube laser for high-speed processing of tubular components
• Specialty equipment for finished bending of large diameter aluminum profiles

Looking Ahead

MMG Extrusions continues to evaluate opportunities for further expansion, with current considerations focused on downstream value-added production capabilities, including large-format robotic welding and bending.

“Continuous investment to support our customers’ growth has been an operating strategy the business has followed since 2011, with the installation of our first new Presezzi press line,” Curland noted. “We remain committed to this approach as we help manufacturers navigate the reshoring trend and adapt to shifting production needs.”

“Demand continues to grow among new and existing customers in the semiconductor and medical device industries for precision machining and fabrication of large parts,” said John Brocke, President of MMG’s technology division. “The addition of the DMC 210 U enables us to meet this demand with greater efficiency and quality and enhances our existing large-part machining capabilities.”

With its large work envelope (98.4” x 98.4” x 57.5”) and ability to handle components up to 13,228 lbs., the DMC 210 U is ideal for cost-effectively machining large format parts, such as those found in mobile MRIs and next-generation vacuum chambers. In addition, the machine – one of only three currently in use in the Northeast – offers the following:

• Widest spindle range on the market with milling and turning in one setup
• Automated 5-pallet changing system for production needs
• 183 tool magazine enabling lights-out, unattended machining
• Capability to machine stainless steel, aluminum, steel, and other alloys

The purchase continues the company’s commitment to invest in new technologies for greater efficiency and quality.

“We are committed to helping our customers reduce their production costs and time to market while improving overall product quality and consistency,” noted Brocke. “Investing in advanced manufacturing technologies, like the DMC 210 U, helps us deliver on that commitment.”

MMG has invested over $50 million in new equipment in the last five years to advance its manufacturing business. The company maintains an extensive manufacturing infrastructure in thirteen facilities across Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont providing a broad range of metal fabrication, precision machining, aluminum extrusion manufacturing, surface finishing, and assembly services.

Momentum Manufacturing Group (MMG), one of the top ten largest metal manufacturers in North America, announced its entry into the semiconductor market with the acquisition of two leading companies that support semiconductor manufacturing.

Little Enterprises in Ipswich, MA, and Evans Industries in Topsfield, MA, have joined MMG, adding 86,000 square feet of manufacturing capacity and nearly 160 skilled team members to the New England-based enterprise. Both companies provide precision metal machining and manufacture components that support wafer fabrication equipment. The acquisitions will enhance MMG’s existing manufacturing operation, which includes ten facilities across New England, and strengthen the company’s focus on the semiconductor market.

“The acquisitions add high-end precision machining and additional robotic technologies to our existing portfolio and give us a stronger presence in the semiconductor and defense industries,” said Jim Moroney, CEO of Momentum Manufacturing Group. “We are excited to welcome the seasoned staff from Little Enterprises and Evans Industries to our team. Their knowledge, capabilities, and operating approach will seamlessly transition into MMG.”

Over the last five years, MMG has invested more than $250 million to expand and strengthen its capabilities, including adding aluminum extrusion manufacturing, custom cabling, and greater use of automation and robotic technologies. Significant investments are planned for 2023 to support current and future demand as the semiconductor industry reshores in response to the CHIPS and Science Act, signed into law on August 9, 2022.

“New England is home to several semiconductor manufacturers, a wide array of technology businesses who rely on semiconductors, and some of the world’s leading research institutions who will all benefit from funding made possible by the CHIPS Act,” shared Moroney. “We want to ensure our company is a strong strategic supplier to our customers in the semiconductor market.”

The CHIPS and Science Act will dole out $280 billion to improve domestic semiconductor manufacturing and scientific R&D and commercialization, which will have a sizable impact on New England’s innovation economy. According to the Semiconductor Industry Association, semiconductors and machinery used to make semiconductors account for $2.7 billion worth of Massachusetts’ exports — making it the third most valuable export from the Commonwealth.
