Core Manufacturing Sectors We Serve in Chicago

One of the reasons Chicagoland manufacturers turn to TYGES time and again for their recruiting needs is because our expertise so closely aligns with the region’s manufacturing demands:

  • Industrial manufacturing: With Chicago’s robust industrial manufacturing base, particularly in suburbs like Elk Grove Village, Schaumburg, and along the I-55 corridor, we help businesses secure top talent to meet their specialized workforce needs.
  • Food Processing Equipment: Chicago has long been a hub for food processing, and we help equipment manufacturers in key areas like Aurora, Bedford Park, and along the I-88 corridor find the specialized talent they need to design, build, and maintain advanced processing machinery.
  • HVAC-R: Chicago’s strong HVAC-R industry, particularly in the western suburbs, relies on skilled professionals to drive innovation and efficiency. We connect manufacturers and suppliers with top talent to support the design, production, and advancement of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems.
  • Electronics and connectivity: The “Golden Corridor” along I-90, including Schaumburg, Rolling Meadows, and Hoffman Estates, is a key hub for electronics and connectivity innovation. We help electronics manufacturers and technology companies in this region secure skilled professionals for roles in circuit design, embedded systems, automation, and other in-demand disciplines.
  • Building Automation: With Chicago’s expansive commercial real estate market, building automation companies—especially in the western and northwestern suburbs—play a crucial role in optimizing energy efficiency and smart building technologies. We connect these companies with top talent specializing in system integration, controls engineering, and IoT-enabled automation solutions.
