What Turnkey Processing Solutions does

Turnkey Processing Solutions (TPS) is a Franklin, Tennessee-based EPCM and EPC services firm that delivers integrated engineering, procurement, construction, and operations management for mineral processing and bulk material handling facilities. Its customers are owners of capital projects in aggregates, frac sand, metal mining, industrial minerals, cement, and bulk material transport; the company manages assets end-to-end under Fixed Price, Cost Plus, or Guaranteed Maximum Price contracts with performance guarantees. The company organizes around five industry-specific groups (Aggregate, Bulk Material Handling, Frac Sand, Metal Mining, Construction Materials) and a consulting entry point built on its proprietary TPS360 Report and Compass Package frameworks.

The company's technology and delivery platform rests on a team of project managers with minimum 20 years of plant-building and operations experience, supported by in-house process, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and automation engineers using AggFlow, AutoCAD, Tekla, and RISA for plant and structural design. TPS owns two fabrication assets — Phoenix Manufacturing (acquired 2015, 100,000+ sq ft in central US) and American Bin & Conveyor (operating since 1942, 50,000 sq ft in Burlington, WI) — providing vertical integration into equipment manufacturing. Open-architecture industrial automation is delivered through a core partnership with ESP, integrating PLC/HMI/network control systems without proprietary lock-in. MSHA Part 48 and OSHA compliance certify the company for surface and underground mining work.

TPS is a privately-held company affiliated with Aligned Equity Partners, generating revenue through professional services (EPCM, EPC, consulting, project management, equipment procurement), managed services (plant management and operations), and hardware sales (fabrication via Phoenix and ABC). Sales are run through an enterprise field-sales motion with project managers owning client relationships across five engineering offices (Atlanta, Chicago, Kansas City, Nashville, Burlington) plus the Franklin headquarters; reference engagements include a $20-$30 million California gold-mine design-build executed in approximately twelve months.
