Nearly 50 Years of Helping Manufacturers Succeed
NTM began in 1976 as a small machine shop in Fridley, Minnesota. Founder Bob Thielen built the company around a straightforward idea: provide high-quality work, solve problems and be a manufacturing partner customers can count on.
Nearly five decades later, NTM remains a family-owned business committed to that same purpose.
A Second-Generation, Woman-Owned Manufacturer
NTM is now owned and operated by Bob’s daughters, Barb and Cindy. Under their leadership, the company has continued to build on its strong manufacturing foundation while investing in new equipment, technology and opportunities for growth.
As a certified Women’s Business Enterprise, NTM is proud to be a second-generation, woman-owned manufacturer serving customers across a wide range of industries.
Built on Experience. Ready for What’s Next.
Over the years, NTM has expanded from its machine shop roots into a one-stop tooling and machining partner. Continued investment in equipment, technology and people has allowed the company to grow its capabilities to include:
Today, NTM operates from more than 25,000 square feet of production space with a team of experienced manufacturing professionals.
