Testimonial

"Manufacture Nevada has been an instrumental partner and critical resource during this once in a lifetime transitive age between legacy manufacturing and the future of robotic automation and AI. Especially in industries like mine that have been largely under-supported in application of new technologies and neglected in investment since the dot com era despite revolutionizing the American economy for decades in the past, I can't thank or highlight enough how helpful Michael and his team in their proactive approach to contacting us, presenting actionable resources for manufacturers, and closely following through to ensure we actually benefit from the public resources that are available but rarely use for small to mid-market companies like mine that are too overwhelmed and understaffed to pursue these on our own. It is clear that they share our goals towards progress and act with my company’s best interests at heart without any economic incentive. I have been thoroughly impressed and it has been great to work with them. The recent initiatives that we've endeavored through would not be possible without their continued guided support, advisement, and efforts in helping us transition both generationally and technologically." — Garo Atamian, Senior VP
