utilizing the total cost of ownership approach pioneered
by The Reshoring Initiative, we have won a number of
value-added contracts and brought work back home. We
are proud to be delivering high-quality products to our
customers and creating good jobs here in Wisconsin. Right
now, eight percent of our workforce is employed because
of products we have helped to reshore.” The award was
presented in Milwaukee, WI, on Sept. 28, at Sourcing
Solutions, a popular procurement program hosted by PMA.
This premier sourcing event brought together buyers and
engineers from top manufacturing companies with pre-screened suppliers, enabling companies to find the most
competitive resources for their projects. Mitchell Metal
Products was selected after using reshoring to complete
more end products with less lead time. In 2016, the
company manufactured a cultivator handle subassembly
product, increasing the production volume from 4,500
made overseas to 30,000 made in Wisconsin.
The Raymond Corporation (Greene, NY) and its authorized
Sales and Service Center, Pengate Handling Systems, Inc.,
are donating a Raymond Model 8210 walkie pallet truck to
help support the growing needs of the Koffman Southern
Tier Incubator. The Koffman Southern Tier Incubator, located
in Binghamton, NY, is a business and entrepreneurship
incubator created to develop transformational and
innovative products and ideas. In partnership with
Binghamton University and State University of New York
(SUNY) at Broome, this high-tech 35,000-square-foot
building provides entrepreneurs with knowledge and
resources to build a sustainable business by providing a
co-working space, high-tech wet labs and dry labs, common
areas and high-bay space. “We will benefit greatly from the
Raymond forklift truck donation, as this will directly support
the Southern Tier of New York entrepreneurial ecosystem,”
says Sheila Doyle, executive director of the Koffman
Southern Tier Incubator. “Together, we are enhancing the
entrepreneurship spirit and helping to drive the bright
future and tremendous potential of our innovators of the
future.” The Raymond Model 8210 walkie pallet truck will
enable the start-up businesses at the Koffman Southern
Tier Incubator to unload raw materials and load finished
products for transport. The facility has a covered dock,
ground-level dock, 2,500-square-foot high-bay storage and
a 20-by-30-foot low storage room.
