Fabpro Technologies

CEO Spotlight – Antoine Hutchinson

“Fabpro Technologies is immensely grateful for the invaluable support provided by the Baltimore MBDA Advanced Manufacturing Center. Their team played a pivotal role in helping us access the resources needed to elevate our business to the next level.

The Center introduced us to key partners, including the Meridian Management Group, M&T Bank, and the Baltimore County Department of Workforce and Economic Development. These connections were instrumental in securing a $450,000 low-interest loan, which enabled us to acquire a state-of-the-art laser metal cutter. This cutting-edge equipment has transformed our production capabilities, increasing output by an impressive 40%.

Beyond introductions, the MBDA AMC has effectively operated as an extension of our team, recognizing that our successes are their successes. They selflessly invested countless hours helping us navigate the application process and effectively present our business accomplishments to the National MBDA. This effort resulted in Fabpro being named the 2024 MBDA National Manufacturer of the Year by the U.S. Department of Commerce. We simply could not have achieved this without them.

The expertise, dedication, and strategic assistance from the Baltimore MBDA Advanced Manufacturing Center have been nothing short of transformative for Fabpro. Their commitment to fostering growth for minority-owned businesses is truly inspiring, and we highly recommend their services to any business seeking to expand and thrive. Maryland manufacturing is fortunate to have the advocacy of the Baltimore MBDA Advanced Manufacturing Center, which has set the platinum standard in the field.”
