In a tough economy, manufacturers experience reduced sales volumes, pressure on cash flow, and unused production capacity.
This workshop points the way to smart top-line growth as the best way to meet these challenges.
Sales volumes can be enhanced by introducing affordable products tailored to current conditions.
Cash flow issues can be tamed by creating a diversified base of products, versions, and customization.
Unused capacity can be harnessed by introducing new products that take full advantage of existing capital investment.
Our guest presenters for this workshop will include Colleen Gibney and John Perrone from ITAC, a nonprofit consulting and training organization dedicated to helping NYC manufacturing and technology companies with programs that increase their top and bottom lines. Michele van de Walle of The Cornell Center for Materials Research will also be on hand to introduce Cornells JumpStart program to help companies develop new materials for their new product lines.

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) was created in 1953 as an independent agency of the federal government to aid, counsel, assist and protect the interests of small business concerns, to preserve free competitive enterprise and to maintain and strengthen the overall economy of our nation. We recognize that small business is critical to our economic recovery and strength, to building America's future, and to helping the United States compete in today's global marketplace. Although SBA has grown and evolved in the years since it was established in 1953, the bottom line mission remains the same. The SBA helps Americans start, build and grow businesses. Through an extensive network of field offices and partnerships with public and private organizations, SBA delivers its services to people throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, the U. S. Virgin Islands and Guam.
