On December 4, 2024, the Eric J. Barron Innovation Hub in downtown State College hosted the inaugural Central PA Sensor Technology Cluster event, gathering industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and economic development experts to showcase the region’s growing sensor technology industry. The event, organized by Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Central and Northern PA, Chamber of Business & Industry of Centre County (CBICC), SEDA-Council of Governments (SEDA-COG), and Penn State’s Office of Entrepreneurship and Commercialization, served as a rallying call to position Central PA as the “Sensor Valley” of the United States.

Rick Lies, CEO of State-College based Chemcut, explains how the company uses its “wet processing” equipment to cater to a wide range of clients and how work done at its research center, machine shop and mold shop can be customized to the customer’s needs.
