Testimonials

Creative Pultrusions, Inc.

“We appreciate the continued support and the ease to work with the IMC.”

Shane WeyantCEO/PresidentCreative Pultrusions, Inc.
Custom Container Solutions

“IMC’s primary assistance in the last 12 months was HR-related; we are planning on investing 5.5M and hire 30 more hourly workers in the next 12 months and IMC’s support is essential to that investment.”

Todd VonderheidManaging MemberCustom Container Solutions, LLC
Custom Container Solutions

We couldn’t have been happier with the consultant that IMC paired us with. We’re actually on the third project now.

Todd VonderheidManaging MemberCustom Container Solutions
Diamondback Automotive Accessories, Inc.

“The results of this project far exceeded my expectations. Every minute and every dollar spent with IMC’s Continuous Improvement team has resulted in tremendous returns. With IMC’s help, we are achieving our mission of being a company that people love to buy from.”

Gerald GardnerQuality ManagerDiamondback Automotive Accessories, Inc.
Edgemate, Inc.

“The IMC has been involved with my company, Edgemate, Inc. for many years and has provided very valuable services.  Dana Gordon has been an excellent representative and in conjunction with Real IT Care, we have improved our IT capabilities and created jobs.  Further, through Dana’s involvement, we have investigated other manufacturing software platforms and interfaced with Visual Manufacturing InFor Inc. to continue to keep Edgemate, a leading wood veneer manufacturer in Pennsylvania.  Thank you!”

Harry BenjaminPresidentEdgemate, Inc.
G&M Bandsaw, Inc.

This project has really taken the whole idea of adding a retail store to our manufacturing business and launched it in such a fast and efficient manner. IMC has been there right alongside us, supporting us, the whole time.

Chet JamesOwner/PresidentG&M Bandsaw, Inc.
Hermance Machine Co.

“The local Innovative Manufacturers’ Center personnel were instrumental in assisting us to prepare and qualify for this opportunity. We would have been hard pressed to complete our appeal to the Governor’s Action Team without IMC doing the heavy lifting.”

Claire StrouseOwnerHermance Machine Co.
Kwik-Care LLC

“Working with IMC has afforded us great insight into areas that we were lacking knowledge for our business to move forward and do it with efficiency. The value and resources that the IMC has brought to our new company has played an integral part in our business launch and getting to market this past spring. We are now in retail locations, vacation/campground stores and university bookstores across the country and we would not be here without the IMC.”

Laurie Fontaine JenkinsOwnerKwik-Care LLC
Lang's Chocolates

IMC’s resource consultant’s background and knowledge were so relevant, and his delivery set a solid foundation upon which we could build for our re-certification as well.

Robert LangOwnerLang's Chocolates
Lewis Lumber Products, Inc.

Our experience with Russ Lawrence has been top notch! He understood from the beginning our culture and frustrations. He is a great teacher, good listener and wonderfully positive in coaching change!

Keith Atherholt, PresidentPresidentLewis Lumber Products, Inc.
