Climatetech entrepreneurs will stay and scale here in #Massachusetts if we provide them with the resources they need to succeed. Some of those innovators may even open businesses and create jobs in their hometowns, like Allium Engineering Co-Founder and CEO Steven Jepeal.
Yesterday, Steve cut the ribbon on the company’s new advanced #manufacturing facility in his hometown of #Billerica! This new space provides Allium with the room to manufacture its coated rebar technology, an innovation that extends the life of infrastructure, reduces carbon emissions, and makes our built environment more resilient to a changing climate.
I had the privilege of meeting with Steven and Allium’s Co-Founder and CTO Sam McAlpine during yesterday’s ceremony, where I was able to speak about how Massachusetts Clean Energy Center has supported this exciting #climatetech manufacturer along with quasi-governmental partners like Massachusetts Technology Collaborative and nonprofit partners like Activate Boston.
It was great to see local, county, and state leaders in the room to congratulate the Allium team, including State Representative Marc Lombardo, Middlesex County Sheriff Peter Koutoujian, MassTech’s Ben Linville-Engler, and Billerica Town Manager Clancy Main, MPA and Select Board Chair John Burrows.
This was a special event for those of us at MassCEC – we’ve supported Allium with funding through our Emerging Climatetech grant programs, 2030 Investment Fund, and internship program. It’s exciting to see Steve and Sam turn their idea into a growing business! Shout-out to Leslie Nash and Maddy Zeliff from MassCEC’s Tech-to-Market team for their hard work empowering Allium and climatetech startups across Massachusetts. And many thanks to Activate Boston’s Elizabeth Kennedy and Daniel Recht for organizing the event.
Congratulations to the entire Allium Engineering team!
