History

This organization was originally formed from an amalgamation of small and varied private companies in 50 A.S. as Morgan Mining & Manufacturing (3M). 3M’s market share grew substantially; bolstered by the personal relationships of its founders. The ores they mined were the fuel that made them so successful as they undersold within the group. However, after several hundred years these resources started to dwindle and their ability to supply large orders evaporated. Then, the redundancies began.

Despite attempts to negotiate deals with other Liberty companies, the days of the mining section were numbered. Eventually, in 590 A.S., all mining operations were suspended: Workers were laid off and the few remaining vessels mothballed. The unemployed miners grouped together and vented their anger against the upper classes of Liberty and the foreign corporations that had destroyed their livelihoods. 3M shrank back and concentrated on their manufacturing abilities, eliminated waste, and sold all unnecessary assets. After many years as business partners, Universal Shipping, Inc. (USI)’s growing needs have brought them to the realization that integration would be far more efficient for them if they buy out 3M and rename it as Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing.

Purpose of Entity

Mission Statement

At 3M, our goals are to bring the mining and manufacturing industries back to libertonians, survey and control mineable fields within Liberty and her surroundings, and collect local resources for base constructions. We will meet these goals by establishing exclusive contracts, training our employees up to Universal Shipping (player faction)'s standards, and cornering the market for “P.O.B.” needed resources.

Vision Statement

We see our company as the preferred and exclusive mining and manufacturing firm by ‘’’820 A.S.’’’ Additionally, we plan to rehabilitate and hire 3,000 ex-Xeno Alliance offenders to help us grow as a libertonian faction. 3M will get there by utilizing the skills and resources of Universal Shipping (player faction).
