Manufacturing Assistance Services

Youve got yourself a deal. Cropped shot of two businesspeople shaking hands.

IMC provides Central Pennsylvania manufacturers with a wide variety of assistance, centered on three core areas: innovation, business growth and continuous improvement.

Whether they’re offered by our experienced staff of manufacturing experts or provided by a qualified, vetted third-party partner, IMC’s manufacturing assistance services are designed to drive sustainable growth for the region’s small and medium-sized manufacturers. We also offer manufacturing assistance services for entrepreneurs through the Williamsport/Lycoming Keystone Innovation Zone (KIZ).

Why partner with IMC for manufacturing assistance services?

As a public-private partnership, our only goals are to improve the Central Pennsylvania economy, serve as a catalyst for job growth and help local manufacturers succeed. We offer Central Pennsylvania manufacturers the chance to access premium, professional innovation, business growth and continuous improvement services once available only to their much larger competitors. Our rates are reasonable, and unlike most for-profit private consultants, we have a vested interest in the success of Central Pennsylvania manufacturing.

Innovation: The key to manufacturing’s future

The manufacturing industry changes quickly. Central Pennsylvania manufacturers must keep up – or be left behind. That’s why IMC provides a range of forward-thinking innovation services, with eyes on helping regional businesses thrive in the 21st Century. LEARN MORE

Business Growth: Sell more, make more
