Who are we and what do we do?
Minds Behind the Machines (MBM) was created to spotlight people, technologies, and ideas shaping the future of advanced manufacturing in South Carolina. At its core, the MBM brand is built around three connected initiatives designed to bring together the manufacturing community and celebrate operational and technological excellence.
MBM Event Series
The MBM Event Series is an ongoing rotation of events hosted at advanced manufacturing facilities and the Center for Manufacturing Innovation. These gatherings give attendees the opportunity to take a tour and get a behind-the-scenes look at innovative manufacturing operations — and we talk with the facility’s own “Minds Behind the Machines.”
