Services IMC Provides

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

Whether they’re offered by our experienced, in-house staff of manufacturing experts or provided by a qualified, vetted third-party partner, all IMC 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).

Call IMC today: (570) 329-3200.

Why partner with IMC for manufacturing assistance services?

As a nonprofit public/private partnership, our only goals are to improve the Central Pennsylvania economy, serve as a catalyst for job growth and help local businesses 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. Want to learn more? Call (570) 329-3200 today.

Business Growth: Sell more, make more

Sounds simple, right? Unfortunately, it’s not. Growing your manufacturing business requires efforts across a wide range of areas, from traditional marketing and digital outreach to sales development and succession planning. IMC can help. Want to learn more? Call (570) 329-3200 today.
