From small businesses like Franklin Printing to larger players such as Puritan Medical Products and Bath Iron Works, Maine manufacturers are getting more strategic about recruiting and hiring as many of their older employees retire.
More Maine companies are looking to automated systems to speed operations, grow capacity, and in some cases fill in for workers they can’t find. But those aren't the only benefits, the businesses are discovering.
Franklin Printing's $1.25 million purchase of the huge, high-speed press plus another $1.25 million for equipment that can fold, staple and more was spurred by pandemic demand. But the company says the investment will help serve a broader market.

A check in the amount of $3,500 was presented to the organization’s Executive Director, Reverend Kevin Wing on Tuesday, February 23, 2021. Upon receiving this donation, Kevin expressed his gratitude: “From time to time I get to meet some of our donors face to face, and recently that was the case when I was invited to attend a meeting of the Cornerstone Community Federal Credit Union Board of Directors. These men and women presented Lockport CARES with a generous donation, and allowed some time for us to tell them about our mission to support Lockport’s neediest men, women, and families. I never cease to be amazed at the generosity of our partners and their sincere interest in our cause.”
