RIMES' History:
In 1994, a group of RI Manufacturers, recognizing that they faced many of the same business challenges, provided start-up funds and presented the Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) service model to the Governor, the General Assembly, Representatives of Congress, and the University of Rhode Island (URI). They next developed a strategic plan and applied for federal funding, which the State of Rhode Island received in 1996.
RIMES established operations in June of 1996 at URI in Kingston, RI and, as demand for its services increased, subsequently moved to our current location in Providence at the American Locomotive Works Development.
Since its inception, RIMES has evolved from a small engineering services organization to developing a full suite of services and public workshops which provide strategic solutions for manufacturers. |
