Metal-related resources assist companies with innovation and growth.
Fabricated Metal Industry Resources
Georgia Tech Partners with Temcor,
Improves Sales
Georgia Tech’s Enterprise Innovation Institute helped Temcor, a prefabricated structures and enclosures manufacturer, develop
an improved, one-directional flow layout for
their facility in Rincon, GA. Georgia Tech
later provided the company with technical
specifications of a plasma cutting system
that would serve the company’s manufacturing needs. According to Temcor’s estimates,
work with Georgia Tech increased sales by
22 percent and setup and changeover times
reduced by 50 percent.
“The folks I’ve worked with at Georgia Tech
are very professional, very knowledgeable
and very cost-effective. Temcor would not
be as successful as the company is today
had we not utilized the expertise of the
staff at Georgia Tech.”
Leland Sanders, Vice President of
Manufacturing, Temcor

Productivity and Grow Business,” Focus Forward: A
Newsletter for Industry, November/December 2008,

Technology
* Temcor is not listed on this study because it has less
than 50 employees.
Georgia has a variety of resources available to fabricated metal manufacturers. Georgia is home to
the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), one of the leading universities in industrial and other
engineering disciplines. The state also has a variety of industry professional groups and trade associations
that provide support to professionals, researchers and suppliers in the fabricated metal industry.
Academic/research resources include:
Manufacturing Research Center www.marc.gatech.edu
Opened in 1991, the Manufacturing Research Center (MARC) focuses on enhancing the technology transfer
process by facilitating interaction among faculty, students and industrial personnel. Cross-assignments and
visits set the stage for development of specific research proposals and projects. Funding may come directly
from industry or from government sources. MARC centers and labs include:
• Environmentally Conscious Design and Manufacturing Program (ECDM) www.ecdm.gatech.edu
• Precision Machinery Research Consortium (PMRC) www.pmrc.gatech.edu
• Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing Institute (RPMI) www.rpmi.marc.gatech.edu
• Factory Information Systems (FIS) Group www.fis.marc.gatech.edu
Enterprise Innovation Institute http://innovate.gatech.edu
The Georgia Tech Enterprise Innovation Institute helps companies, entrepreneurs, economic developers and
communities improve their competitiveness through the application of science, technology and innovation.
In 2007, the Enterprise Innovation Institute, through the U.S. Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP),
began offering the Eureka! Winning Ways® program to help Georgia companies develop new strategies for
growth. Eureka is an award-winning three step process that includes idea engineering, success screening
and action plan coaching. This program was developed by Doug Hall, former master marketing inventor with
Procter & Gamble.
Professional Groups and Trade Associations
