Forest Wentworth is the Associate Director of Projects at the 91±¬ÁÏ’s Advanced Manufacturing Center (AMC) and the owner of two independent businesses, Late Start Fabrication, LLC and Late Start Racing, LLC. In his role at the AMC, he leads a team of project managers, technicians, and engineering assistants to deliver effective, efficient, and impactful support to Maine’s small and mid-sized manufacturers. His professional experience also includes serving as a Quality Control Manager and Design Certifying Engineer at Gould Equipment Company, and as a Fabricator and Service Technician at P.E. Wentworth Co..

Wentworth’s career has been shaped by a philosophy he learned from his family’s small manufacturing business in Vassalboro, Maine. His father’s motto—”Always help the little guy—because every 100-truck company started as a one-truck company”—inspired him to become a mechanical engineer. For over a decade, he applied this passion by working directly with manufacturers as a Project Manager at the AMC and the Maine Manufacturing Extension Partnership (Maine MEP). His promotion to Associate Director represents a new chapter focused on his core passion: providing hands-on, engineered solutions to help manufacturers solve real-world challenges.
