When people ask what Manufacturer's Edge and the Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) program does, it is this. We make manufacturers more competitive, profitable, and efficient through workforce training, continuous improvement, and advanced manufacturing solutions. Our partners in Tennessee provide the story in this video, but our stories in #Colorado share many of the same elements.

Yes!!!! There are only three ways to create real wealth: mining/extraction, farming/agriculture, and manufacturing!

Some people go to Five Guys when they want a good burger. Some people think Michigan's Fab Five was the greatest recruiting class of all time. But those who know the truth know that the Ketchie Fabulous Five is the best choice for precision-milled CNC parts in low to mid-range volume. When you need quality milled parts, go where the experts go – Ketchie Inc. #cncmachining #machinist #manufacturingcareers #fabfive #whenyouknowyouknow #milling #parts #Americanmanufacturing

Had a blast with LENOX® this week – can’t imagine a better group of people to partner with. When teams work hard, it’s okay to play hard afterwards. Perfect time for a Colorado Rockies game to wrap up the week. Big things happening at SurfacePrep this year! #lenoxblades #metalcutting #welding #machining #grinding #cncmachining #aerospacemanufacturers #cncmachinist #cncmachine #cncturning #cncmilling #cncmanufacturing #manufacturingtechnology #manufacturingexcellence #linkedin #cncmaching #coloradomanufacturing #americanmanufacturing

>>> Growth. >>> Expansion. These are words every business owner is told to revere. What no one talks about is how scary it can be to actually grow and expand. What if something goes wrong? What if we let down our customers? What if we let down our team? In this season of gratitude, however, everyone here at Sweeney Metal Fabricators is enormously GRATEFUL for the fulfilling year of growth and expansion our shop has experienced. We never dreamed of joining forces with another manufacturer, let alone finding a truly perfect manufacturing partner—yet that’s precisely what we found in our new parent company, GTR Manufacturing. Thanks to our shared goals, values, and vision, the Sweeney + GTR manufacturing family can proudly offer the most powerful range of top-quality sheet metal solutions our customers have ever seen. And our capabilities just keep expanding. We hope you’ll continue to journey with us into the year as we grow, expand, and make great parts, prototypes, and products. Let's work together: https://lnkd.in/ezn6P8i5 – Chris Sweeney, Director of Operations #metalfabrication #cnc #prototyping

#economybrief: At a time when the US is purchasing less from China than it has in decades, there are still those who claim that US manufacturing is weak. Well, there are several manufacturers like The Armor Group, Inc. that would beg to differ. The Armor Group's divisons are churning out metal fabricated products for global customers at its US Midwest facilities. Its Cincinnati Industrial Machinery, Processall, and Armor Contract Manufacturing divisions are also helping to build other US manufacturers capacity with production equipment from industrial parts washers to industrial plow mixers to build-to-print contract services that include machined, stamped, and fabricated parts and equipment. US Manufacturing is not weak, and it's growing stronger every day, part in thanks to US workers such as those at The Armor Group! #manufacturing #manufacturingindustry #usmanufacturing #madeinusa #machining #stamping #partswasher #industrialwashers #industrialovens #industrialmixers #washers #ovens #industrialequipment #plowmixer #ploughmixer #contractmanufacturing #china

So what's going on at Anderson Global today, see below for a few details........... We are building offline manifolds for a complex automotive low pressure tool. Mitch our skilled patternmaker is testing the manifold fittings one by one at 90 psi air pressure. We would rather take the time upfront to leak test than find the problem downstream when the tool is fully assembled. Just one of the steps we take to make sure your mold is delivered when we promise. #mold #molddesign #moldmaking #foundry #metalcasting #moldmaker
