ASMC’s mission is to help small manufacturers succeed. Through the NIST MEP program and related manufacturing legislation, ASMC can achieve its mission and strive to be the single most influential force in transforming U.S. small manufacturers into high-performance global competitors, thereby assuring a more prosperous and secure America.
The MEP program is a federal public-private partnership created in 1988 that provides small and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) technology-based services these firms need to grow and thrive in today’s economy and create well-paying manufacturing jobs.
The MEP program is managed by NIST and the U.S. Department of Commerce and is implemented through a network of 51 MEP Centers located in every state and Puerto Rico. These MEP Centers are not-for-profit organizations that employ a network of more than 1,400 trusted advisors and experts who work directly with manufacturers to improve productivity and enhance U.S. competitiveness.
