Transforming the manufacturing ownership succession ecosystem.

Exit Planning for Manufacturers is an initiative of Tools for Equitable Acquisitions in Manufacturing (TEAM) by Mechanism, a non-profit organization working in collaboration with communities and manufacturers to create production ecosystems that increase local resilience, vitality, and well-being.

We're a home for people whose ideas and actions are laying the foundation for local economies that honor the interdependence of people, place, and planet, while strengthening community identity and resilience through craft and innovation.

TEAM aims to help small and mid-sized manufacturers navigate ownership succession with a focus on equitable employee ownership models.
