Companies funded by MTI bring new products and services to the U.S. and global markets and create higher paying jobs at a faster rate than the average Maine company. The seed grant awarded to MMPCo is supporting prototype development and testing for down-hole oil and gas measuring tools manufactured from exotic materials including Titanium, Inconel and K-500 Monel.
Students in the Machine Tool Technology program at Central Maine Community College are participating in this effort by assisting in the design and machining of some of the experimental parts, including an installation tool for a piston seal.
