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 US 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 help and consulting firms in northern California, we are the leader in expertise and experience.
