HunterNet was founded by senior representatives of local manufacturers, and manufacturing continues to sit at the core of our DNA. Our manufacturing innovation network currently includes around half of our HunterNet members.
Our well-established network helps businesses become advanced 4.0 manufacturers. We share knowledge and give them the tools to adapt, pivot, streamline and refine their products and processes to meet industry requirements both today and tomorrow.
