JPT and the Manufacturing Community in Macomb Michigan

At Joint Production Technology, we believe that a strong manufacturing community in Macomb Michigan starts with investing in the next generation. For over 30 years JPT has partnered with local schools, industry associations, and educational programs to bring real-world manufacturing experience to students and families in our community.

Integration 2000 — Malow Junior High

Since 1994, JPT has hosted the annual Malow Junior High Open House, welcoming Engineering Drawing students and their parents to our facility. Through the Integration 2000 program, students see their own drawings come to life on our shop floor. Integration 2000 represents a philosophy that connects classroom education directly with industry — giving students hands-on experience with the latest manufacturing technology in a real production environment.

JPT Engineering Manager Mr. David Gifford has guided students and parents through our tooling operations, explaining how precision cutting tools are designed and manufactured. These visits have expanded the classroom by hundreds of thousands of square feet, exposing students to CNC machining, EDM, grinding, and more.

    The JPT Way

    Most tooling problems aren’t solved by buying off the shelf. They’re solved by understanding the application, the machine, and the process — then engineering the right solution.

    Cutting tools. Fixturing. Complete production solutions. That’s been the JPT way since 1971. No catalogs. No guessing. Just engineering.
