Facilities
Equipment + Expertise = Opportunity
After a decade of innovation, IACMI has discovered the “secret sauce” is pairing world-class facilities with the expertise to run them. For many small- to medium-size enterprises (SMEs), getting access to both can help jump start and grow their companies. Even the larger OEMs often prefer to collaborate R&D with other companies in these shared facilities and look to smaller companies for fresh ideas. Through strategic partnerships in Colorado, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee, IACMI is helping turn great ideas into commercial successes.
By becoming an IACMI member, you can leverage R&D capabilities at our facilities across the country.
