Innovative Manufacturing & Engineering, a company based in Iowa, has been named Small Business of the Week by Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee Chair Joni Ernst. The business was recognized for its role in precision machining and its contributions to several key industries, including agriculture, food production, transportation, and construction.
“From blueprints to breakthroughs, Innovative Manufacturing & Engineering has tooled its way to success,” said Chair Ernst. “This team isn’t just producing parts, they’re building opportunities, inspiring young Iowans, and reminding us that the future of American manufacturing starts right here in the heartland.”
The company was founded in 2011 by Todd Freeland and is co-owned with Matthew Sawhill and Brandon Dahms. It has grown from a small startup into a leader in its field with a 14-person team that combines technology with skilled craftsmanship. The firm’s guiding philosophy is “precision meets people meets passion.” Through partnerships with local community colleges, Innovative Manufacturing & Engineering works to prepare future workers for careers in manufacturing.
Chair Ernst will continue highlighting Iowa businesses through her Small Business of the Week award.
