Puttin on the Blitz
On Tuesday, June 21 the North Carolina Manufacturing Extension Partnership (NCMEP) partners will be traveling to manufacturing companies throughout the Triad, including Davie, Davidson, Forsyth, Randolph and Surry counties. We want to make sure that manufacturers know about all of the resources that are available to them through NCMEP, and how our portfolio of solutions can help them to reach their goals–whether the goal is to become more operationally efficient, to create or retain jobs, or to become better positioned for profitable growth.
