Texas Manufacturing Assistance Center (TMAC) strengthens the competitiveness of Texas manufacturing by delivering training, technical assistance, and practical improvement support to industrial firms statewide. Service delivery prioritizes the needs of small to mid-sized manufacturers, including those in rural communities that often lack affordable access to specialized expertise. Support areas include lean manufacturing and lean office practices, technology solutions, strategic management, quality systems, environmental practices, and workplace safety. A public-private partnership model combines federal support with partner resources and customer fees to extend impact and sustain services. Work with manufacturers emphasizes continuous improvement and long-term growth, while strengthening supplier relationships between large and small firms to keep more economic value circulating within Texas. Outcomes are designed to produce measurable improvements for participating companies and contribute to broader gains in the state economy.
