Working With You

Feeling isolated? The Montana Manufacturing Extension Center (MMEC) can help you innovate - grow - profit. Whether it's practices for managing your equipment, building, processes and people or developing a fast and effective strategy, our field staff understand manufacturing and the obstacles that affect your business.

"Getting a different perspective is really valuable, especially in a rural state. The Center's expertise is appreciated."
-- Spencer Williams, President, West Paw Design

Working from four field offices across the state, we drive right to road image your door for an initial consultation with you and your key people. If hands-on work is needed, MMEC will develop a proposal specifying:

time frames
services
cost
direct benefits

Depending on your needs, we can help design and implement plans and solutions that yield lower costs, higher production, and increased product quality to meet your customer demands quickly, staying focused on doing the things that add value.

"My advice for other C-level company leaders is when you talk with MMEC engineers, listen to what they have to say. They are knowledgeable and say what they can and can't do. I'm glad I listened." -- Randy Gilbertson, Pasta Montana

After assessing where your business is today, our MMEC field engineer will work as your advocate to find, direct, and coordinate the proper mix of resources and skills needed to best assist you in growing and improving your business. If our solutions make you money, we want you to invest a reasonable portion in us so that we can continue to serve Montana manufacturers and will be here next time you need assistance. Fees are based on measurable results.

"MMEC growth services helped us focus on what is important and what skills and tasks to do to make it happen. It's not just research but developing the right partners and focusing." -- Mike Hetherington, CEO, Cleanwaste

Our MMEC engineer will manage your project from start to finish by coordinating the work of MMEC and outside experts, if required, while ensuring the project meets your expectations. You will receive monthly updates on the status of the project and opportunities for input and to measure results throughout the project. MMEC engineers work directly with you and your staff to ensure your satisfaction.

We also answer questions over the telephone. When you are ready to improve your manufacturing business and partner with MMEC, call any of our field offices or (800) MEP-4MFG (800) 637-4634. Let us help you stay ahead of the competition.
