THE CORPORATION FOR MANUFACTURING EXCELLENCE

The Corporation for Manufacturing Excellence dba Manex was founded in 1995 as a nonprofit 501c3 corporation to partner with the U.S. Department of Commerce as an NGO Manufacturing Extension Center under NIST MEP. Today we also work hand in glove with the California Manufacturing Network to bring all possible resources to drive manufacturing success throughout the State.

Our mission is simple; grow manufacturing and manufacturing jobs. We are economic developers focused on manufacturing and manufacturing supply chains. We come from real world manufacturing with successful strategy, planning and OE backgrounds. Among manufacturing consulting firms in northern California, we are the leader in expertise and experience.

We Teach, Advise, Connect, Coach, Mentor

You are in charge of your future; you are in charge of your strategy.  We teach, advise, connect, coach, mentor, and provide tools and case studies from our expert team as well as the National MEP Network and the California Manufacturing Network.

A majority of our projects in the prior fiscal year had some form of financial assistance.  These included the State of California ETP funds with whom we have partnered with since our inception.  In addition, Manex is able to offer funding offsets on Manex projects for qualified companies under the Small Business Technical Assistance Program.  These are offsets to our work with clients, and not direct financial grants.

The Manex team brings an average of 20 years of private industry experience to provide a powerful depth and breadth of business know-how. We are recognized for our strategic, enterprise-level expertise and extensive front-line manufacturing and distribution experience.
