          3D Laser Scanning)
       • (Molds - Plastic Injection, Die Cast)

● Welding & Fabrication (MIG, TIG, Robotic Production)

 

As the manufacturing landscape changes, so does the market.  Both the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) and The State of Michigan help to foster economic growth in the manufacturing sector by implementing programs to assist companies to expand their expertise in other industrial sectors outside of automotive.  Third Coast Tooling Alliance, LLC (TCTA) is the result of the MEDC’s efforts to strengthen Michigan’s economy through the creation of Tool and Die Recovery Zones.

As the industry evolution has created more advanced manufacturing jobs, companies have also seen the change.  Michigan has seen the need to change its direction for growth in new areas.

Due to the recent decline in the U.S. automotive industry, companies have been forced to restructure and build a stronger manufacturing base to remain competitive.  Third Coast Tooling Alliance, LLC would like to be a big part of rebuilding all of Michigan’s manufacturing sectors. 

Let’s make it happen together!
