Thomas and New York City Launch Joint Program to Elevate Small Business Manufacturing
Summary
Members of New York City’s manufacturing community will be added to Thomasnet.com®’s supplier database, qualification, and categorization system, providing access to over 1.3 million active industrial buyers per month. “As a proud New York-based company and a leading platform for sourcing critical PPE equipment, we are thrilled to launch this joint program with our city’s manufacturers,” said Tony Uphoff, president and CEO of Thomas. The latest report reveals that two out of three manufacturing companies are looking into bringing production to North America, with apprenticeship programs being an important catalyst to combat the skilled labor shortage.
