…contains about 200 to 300 welds and requires the precision and time of a skilled welder to be built. While the Billerica, Mass.-based company has six or seven welders on staff, it needed more workers to keep up with demand. The labor shortage, however, has made it hard to find employees. Trapotsis was one of the dozens of manufacturing executives who took part in the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative’s Manufacturing Mash-Up on Friday at the Polar Park baseball stadium in Worcester. He was invited to speak because he took advantage of a $20,000 grant from the state’s Manufacturing Emergency Response Team…
