WHO WE ARE
Meet the Team at JMP Consulting
JMP Consulting is an engineering consulting business, located in North Central Pennsylvania, we specialize in process equipment design for the mineral and biomass industries.
With several decades of experience in the engineering and manufacturing industry, the company's founder has a background in the arts and a degree in mechanical engineering, providing a unique blend of creativity and expertise.
Our business specializes in designing large scale manufacturing equipment and excels in creating designs that retrofit existing equipment to solve expensive or dangerous problems for production. We work with leaders in the iron ore processing industry, biomass processing companies, and other engineering firms that need to outsource work.
Though we are small, we are mighty. Our small size and unique blend of experience gives us the ability to excel in R&D projects that larger supply companies struggle to find time for. This also allows us to foster relationships with our clients and gives us room to care deeply about solving the problems brought to us.
