The Product Manufactory (TPM) Facility Tour
Illinois Manufacturing Month: The Product Manufactory Tour
Urbana, IL
The Product Manufactory (TPM) is a product design and R&D firm composed of highly skilled engineers, designers, coders, and fabricators. The products they've developed have ranged from research instrumentation to consumer electronics to railroad power supplies.
TPM was founded in 2012 by U of I grads and has grown to occupy 15,000 square feet of space in Urbana where they design and prototype client products. They also have a sister company, The Product Greenhouse, which has 30+ years of experience as a trading company. This relationship, along with TPM's own network of US and overseas contract manufacturers, allows them to take a product all the way from idea to production. Learn more at https://www.theproductmanufactory.com/.
Fun facts about the company:
- Even though it's not a condition of employment, 70% of all employees and interns ride, and wrench on, motorcycles. There have been three custom motorcycle paint jobs done after hours at their shop.
- They have a cookout every year for their clients and vendors in town. Marc, their lead fabricator, smokes a couple pork shoulders for it; they think they rival the pulled pork from a certain locally beloved barbecue establishment. The Product Manufactory
