Matthew Sommerfield One of LVB’s Forty Under 40

MTS design + manufacture is proud to announce that our Managing Partner, Matthew Sommerfield was recognized by Lehigh Valley Business as one of 2017’s Forty Under 40.

The award celebrates 40 of the Greater Lehigh Valley’s most accomplished young businessmen and women who have been making headlines in their field and who share a commitment to business growth, professional excellence, and to the community.

In 2000, Matt received his BS in Manufacturing Engineering Technology from RIT, where he was both the College Delegate for College of Applied Science and Technology (valedictorian) and a recipient of the Outstanding Undergraduate award.

At MTS, the process of design thinking is in the core of our DNA and has been practiced professionally by Matt since the beginning of his career.  Matt seeks clients with amazing ideas that can help change consumers lives – and brings those ideas to life.  Client work, including sales, design, engineering, project management, and resource management are Matt’s functions – and he excelled in every aspect of his role.

MTS is now in its 12th year, and in that time Matt has been awarded 9 patents. He steered the MTS ship through the incubation program at Bridgeworks Enterprise Center (BEC), which MTS graduated in 2015. MTS was then granted anchor tenant status at BEC, which is reserved for companies that are heavily invested in the BEC community and give back to their fellow small businesses through collaboration and mentorship.

Our team is looking forward to celebrating Matt’s accomplishments at the LVB Forty Under 40 awards ceremony on June 15. The honorees will also be featured in a special supplement to the June 19 edition of Lehigh Valley Business.
