Success Story Powered by New York MEP Center for Economic Growth’s (CEG) Business Growth Solutions (BGS)

FFF began scaling up its production of high-performance ceramic fibers in early 2020 in an effort to go from R&D scale to manufacturing scale.

Free Form Fibers’ commercialization plans are now stronger because of the insights the Center for Economic Growth helped us gain through the value stream mapping process.
