The U.S. Renaissance in Innovation and Manufacturing Starts Here

About Us

American industry is entering a renaissance in which we will scale our innovations, manufacture at scale, create jobs, and improve outcomes for both our nation and our people. This transformation will be led by the bedrock of American manufacturing and innovation -- small and medium-sized businesses, innovators, and startups. They are the keepers of the American tradition of hard work and integrity; they are stewards of the communities in which they operate; and without them, the next generation of manufacturing cannot exist.

IN 4.0S (pronounced “in-force”) is advancing the Industry 4.0 renaissance by architecting, designing, and building new cyber-physical infrastructures that create well-paying, sustainable jobs and develop the workforce of the future. Our team of technologists, scientists, engineers, and subject matter experts collaborate with like-minded partners from across all industry domains and disciplines to make this transformation seamless, impactful, and lasting.

Whether manufacturing for new and emerging industrial sectors or reenergizing legacy industries, IN 4.0S is your partner of choice. Let’s build “Fortress America” together.
