Innovation Is Our Path To Success

The TMCO Story

When Roland Temme founded TMCO in 1974, he started with eight simple machines housed in a 742-square-foot machine shop located between the railroad tracks in Lincoln, Nebraska. TMCO’s now 300,000-square foot production facility is a testament to the value of hard work and dedication to a dream.

Humble Beginnings

Temme’s one-man TMCO shop quickly grew after moving into a new facility that could accommodate more employees and state-of-the-art equipment for bigger projects. TMCO’s rapid expansion let it evolve from Total Machining Company to Total Manufacturing Company.

Tech-Forward, Customer-Focused

TMCO’s continual re-investments in the latest equipment and workforce training ensured quality and on-time product delivery – even as TMCO’s client base grew. This dedication to innovation is ingrained into how TMCO does business today. We’re always evolving to changing manufacturing technologies and methods.
