About
A network of experts.
Independently specialized and collectively diversified. The Greater Peoria Manufacturing Network exists to streamline procurement and reduce costs for customers of the regional manufacturing industry.
Who we are
Metal, machines, and the services around them.
The network comprises metal component manufacturers specializing in heavy fabrication and machining, alongside firms offering consulting, logistics, maintenance, and customer support. Together they cover a project end to end.
It is organized and supported by the Greater Peoria Economic Development Council, and serves manufacturing businesses across five Central Illinois counties: Logan, Mason, Peoria, Tazewell, and Woodford.
Members are strategically positioned for rail, road, and river transportation in the Midwest — which is what makes bringing a multi-faceted project to one place practical rather than just convenient.
