Why Top Manufacturers in PA, NY, OH, and WV Love Tristate Manufacturers Marketplace
Manufacturers are experiencing some heavy challenges in our region, from hiring, to sales, international competition, and taxes. We started this marketplace as a way to alleviate as many challenges as we can, and to create a real and significant economic impact for our region. Some of these challenges just don’t have an easy solution, especially hiring. Most manufacturers are acknowledging that we need to start looking at alternate solutions to hiring, and one of the solutions they are coming to involves the question: “how can we use regional collaboration and outsourcing to solve employee shortages?” One of the strengths of TSM is in our ability to foster an environment of collaboration. Not only can you easily identify suppliers in very specific categories and with unique capabilities, but if you need help sourcing, or don’t find who you are looking for, we have a large network of supporting organizations that we pull from to identify the perfect supplier for you. Even if you’re looking for a supplier with multiple services and certifications under one roof. All you need to do is fill out the form below and we will find a supplier for you – no cost, just a free service to help you and keep the business in our region.
In addition to the activities we are taking to encourage and facilitate regional cooperation, we have real marketing expertise behind TSM, and we are generating traffic from around the country. These searchers are looking for keywords like “best injection molding companies”, or “top precision cnc machine shops”, and so many more. Imagine a situation where we are getting hundreds of leads every week that get sent directly to the members on TSM! This is already happening on a slightly smaller scale but it’s growing quickly and this is the perfect time to get in at a very low cost. We (and you) have the potential to be part of this economic development masterpiece – something that city and state organizations around the country will point to as the model for success. We are also bringing together multiple manufacturers for complex jobs that require multiple manufacturing processes. On top of all this, we are actively advertising our members in regular blog posts. Some of our most recent are on topics including: Top Plastic Fabrication Companies, Top Welding and Fabrication Companies, Top Tool and Die Manufacturers, Top Metal Coating and Finishing Manufacturers, and more. Each one of these articles is driving traffic to members. Join today to be featured, to grow your business, and simultaneously to be part of the success of our region.
