Now that domestic manufacturing is on the rise, companies like Dimensional Control Systems are reaping some of the benefits, such as adding service offerings and staff.
The Troy-based quality assurance company has carved out its niche over 20 years helping manufacturers streamline their operations and introduce new technology that makes the building process leaner. The company now has a staff of 75 employees and two interns handling this work. It has hired three people over the last year, including two software developers and one sales professional.
"We like to hire people we know," says Ben Reese, marketing specialist for
Dimensional Control Systems. "We hire a lot of people through referrals."
Dimensional Control Systems got its start in consulting for local manufacturers and eventually moved into the tech side of the business. Now it's expanding into more work in end-of-the-line manufacturing and managing big data for local auto suppliers.
"It's a whole new side of our business," Reese says.
