The proof is in the numbers: $7.1 billion in new or retained sales, $2.1 billion in cost savings and cost avoidance, and more than 65,005 Texas jobs created or retained. What sets TMAC apart is its approach. The organization doesn't leave a to-do list for businesses to negotiate alone. Instead, TMAC works with organizations to achieve dramatic results and aims to develop their in-house expertise so that improvements are sustainable. As an affiliate of the Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) program of National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), TMAC is part of a unique public-private partnership that delivers comprehensive, proven solutions to U.S. manufacturers, fueling growth and advancing U.S. manufacturing.

Overall, TMAC's commitment to helping Texas-based businesses thrive and its successful track record make it a compelling entity for venture capital consideration.
