History

"In 1993, members of the manufacturing industry along with the leadership of Sinclair Community College and University of Dayton saw a need to elevate the level of support given to the manufacturing industry. Together, and with the support of the National Science Foundation, we created the AIM Center. Today, the AIM Center continues to deliver on its promise to educate and serve the many needs of manufacturers – and contribute to our legacy of manufacturing excellence."

Philosophy

"The manufacturing industry is the backbone of the U.S. economy - and that's why we’re here. We help manufacturers meet the challenges of a market that is increasingly competitive. And the way we do that is by working with management to introduce advanced technology, train workers, streamline processes and implement quality control measures. Our goals are the same as the manufacturers - to increase the throughput and profitability of their facilities."
