About TMEP
The Tennessee Manufacturing Extension Partnership provides high-value solutions to help manufacturers increase performance and profitability.
Manufacturing in Tennessee has gotten more complicated. Supply chains, workforce, technology, compliance, competition. There's always something.
You shouldn't have to figure all of it out on your own, and you shouldn't have to hire a different firm for every problem.
Who We Are
That's what Tennessee MEP is here for. For thirty years we've served as the statewide resource Tennessee manufacturers call when they need an expert who understands their operation, not a consultant selling a single service.
Our Solutions Consultants live and work in your region. We serve roughly 200 Tennessee manufacturers each year, from the Tri-Cities to Memphis. We are part of the University of Tennessee Center for Industrial Services and the federal Manufacturing Extension Partnership National Network, which means we can pull in expertise from across the state and across the country when your situation calls for it.
What Makes Us Different
You'll work with someone who's done the job.
Every consultant on our team comes from a manufacturing background. We've run the floor, sat in the meetings, and made the decisions you're making now.
