It strives to be a true manufacturing \u201cone stop shop.\u201d According to the website, where others are forced to outsource numerous core components increasing cost and lead times, Micron has expanded its capabilities to offer an integrated set of services to handle jobs completely in-house.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur mission,\u201d explains President & CEO Bill Laursen, \u201cis to be the go-to partner for our clients. We develop elegant, yet robust automated manufacturing solutions. We function like other larger contractors yet offer a hand-crafted, personalize business experience.\u201d Micron works with clients of all sizes to provide manufacturing solutions and assembly services to expeditiously help its customers meet their goals.<\/p>\n
As Micron\u2019s website explains, \u201cour specialties include Precision Machining, Thermoplastic Injection Molding, Mold Making, Assembly Services and Sensors. Whether it is partnering with clients to help with design for manufacturing on new programs or to support existing applications, Micron Solutions, Inc. is prepared to commit all resources necessary to find a solution.

Founded in 1972, Micron now employs 120 people in its 120,000-square-foot manufacturing facility. As the website states, Micron \u201cis capable of serving customers\u2019 projects from start to finish.\u201d Laursen explains the company\u2019s core values are to \u201cdo it right the first time!\u201d He strives to build a \u201ccustomer-focused, collaborative\u201d work culture. Even during the past two years amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic, he noted how proud he was of his loyal team. During the business slowdown, Laursen noted \u201cOur folks wanted to come to work.\u00a0 We were proud to maintain our team.\u201d<\/p>\n
Evidence of the company\u2019s commitment to its employees and its clients shows with its regular \u201cMicron Matters\u201d town-hall style meetings with employees and management. In those meetings, Laursen notes they are always focusing on celebrating the company\u2019s collaborative work culture, accountability and continuous improvement.<\/p>\n
As a local business, Laursen said Micron supports the local community by providing employment opportunities through internships and co-ops to local high school and college students. Many returned to work for the company during and after completing school. He also highlighted the strong legacy of manufacturing in North Central Massachusetts. While the business has clients world-wide, he said the region\u2019s close proximity to the healthcare and bioscience industries provides tremendous opportunity. They primarily rely on their sales force, social media and their website for promotion but, Laursen added, Micron\u2019s customers are the businesses strongest source.<\/p>\n
Laursen credits a company advisor by the name of Mike Kelly as one of Micron\u2019s biggest influencers in its ability to grow the business. Retired after a successful career at several large Medical Device companies, he said Kelly has been instrumental in the company\u2019s success in creating an \u201chonest, helpful work environment.\u201d<\/p>\n
