Who Are We / Background
Kentucky Manufacturing Assistance Center (KMAC) has been helping Kentucky manufacturers improve their production methods, advance their technical capabilities, and adopt best business practices since 1995.
Created by the Kentucky Science and Technology Corporation and the Commonwealth of Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development to support and strengthen Kentucky’s manufacturing sector, KMAC is a private, not-for-profit corporation. Our affiliations with the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Manufacturing Extension Partnership (NIST/MEP), the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development, and the Kentucky Office for the New Economy provide us with access to national and state resources to assist our clients.
With support from NIST/MEP and the Commonwealth of Kentucky, KMAC is able to deliver cost-effective services to all sizes of manufacturers throughout Kentucky. Our up-front work to help companies identify problems or improvement opportunities and define practical solutions is provided at no charge.
We believe in a hands-on approach to helping our clients improve their businesses. Our staff of seasoned manufacturing professionals works side-by-side with company owners and employees to implement improvements. And we measure our success by the bottom-line results of our work. We’re successful as long as our clients see improved profits, increased sales, or reduced costs.
