💴 This Week in Manufacturing
It’s a new year, and the phrase “you’ve got to spend money to make money” is tired--but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Investment is vital for business growth, especially in modern manufacturing.
Today’s newsletter focuses on different types of investment whether for innovation, employees, or traditional financial expenditure.
Our feature company, AmpThink, has focused on delivering quality Wi-Fi connectivity to professional sports venues by investing in acquisitions such as Rapid Tool. Why not bring the experts in-house?
In headlines, companies and communities have invested in production facilities that are popping up from Massachusetts to Texas and Colorado.
This week’s first podcast episode is no slouch. Tech Transformation interviewed Kraft Heinz’s Linda Roman about embedding sustainability throughout the business. Invest in the planet so we can all enjoy it longer.
And rounding it out, today’s Fun Fact says it all in big, bold font: private construction spending is projected to increase by 75%. Growth comes to those who invest well!

♨️ AmpThink
Since 2011, AmpThink has transformed professional sports venues across the country by focusing on the power of connectivity.
Over the last decade, AmpThink has established itself as a leading master technology integrator (MTI) in the sports entertainment industry. To date, the company has executed projects in over 75+ stadiums and arenas, 130+ warehouse projects, and 1,800+ retail store projects. “We have unmatched expertise in the design and deployment of technology services,” said Edgar Lopez, director of business development.
AmpThink has proven to be a leader in the MTI space. The company has partnered with Cisco for over ten years, deploying and managing tech infrastructure at sports entertainment venues across America, including the 2022 Superbowl at SoFi Stadium.
Upshot: “We work with venue owners to unify the technology dependencies of a building’s systems into a single platform.”
