CASE STUDIES (TESTIMONIALS)
Benefits of membership and participation with the Edison Centers
“American Trim has worked with EMTEC for the past 5 years and they have helped us immensely with our ability to connect with relevant companies and research institutions as we explore new market segments and product lines. They have over 24 years experience in the technology development and commercialization of advanced materials, alternative energy, instruments, controls, and electronics, and have established a vast number of technical contacts and networks. These resources have helped to identify and build key supply chains for companies like American Trim that want to move their operations to Ohio or want to expand their presence in new market segments.”
“Our relationship with TechSolve, now in its third year, is a dynamic aspect of our associate and organizational development maturation. TechSolve has provided training and guidance on projects and the TechSolve team could not have been more congenial, professional or helpful during our work together. TechSolve worked diligently to know, understand and align with MEG’s vision, goals, and objectives for introducing the activities we requested. More so, they acted as an agent of our organization to promote and guide us as we went along. That strength has allowed us to venture in new directions and to meet other companies, looking for the same types of programs, to network, benchmark and all in the spirit of continuous improvement.”
“TechSolve worked side-by-side with us to discover and implement the changes with the most impact. We’re now able to respond to customer orders with more agility and efficiency.”
"Our partnership with CIFT has been very good. The technical expertise and affordability brought by a non-profit has been great. We were able to get a level of expertise we would not have otherwise been able to achieve.”
"CIFT's knowledge helped us realize a significant energy saving through the evaluating of greenhouse thermal curtains. I would strongly recommend tapping into the wealth of expertise that CIFT has been sharing with organizations since 1995."
"Wyandot has enjoyed great success over the years, but we do not want to rest on our laurels. CIFT has helped us raise the bar -- by providing innovative solutions, and helping us partner with fellow industry leaders to enhance what we do, and how we do it."
"EWI’s ability to provide expert assistance and a rapid prototyping test-bed was extremely valuable to us and to our customer.”
"Beiersdorf’s Cincinnati operation sent its entire materials department to Strategic Procurement & Negotiations Skills training. All the buyers came back with renewed enthusiasm and anxious to try out the techniques that Fred presented at the training session. The strategy of “ok is ok” as well as the chart of flat sales and declining margins and revenue really helped our suppliers understand our situation and how we needed their help to tip the scale in the other direction. To date, Beiersdorf has achieved annualized savings slightly over $200,000. Thanks for sharing your strategy and most importantly for the savings accrued so far."
"Membership in BioOhio keeps DHI in-the-know and connected – to potential collaborative partners, to funding sources, and to biotech-related economic development initiatives driven by state resources. The fall annual meeting is especially enriching to all entrepreneurs – it’s a great venue to network for success and learn about best practices from others big and small in the field. And support from BioOhio includes more than exploring sources of funds – the folks and expertise at BioOhio understand the issues you face to compete in this rapidly emerging industry of bioscience commercialization – they have always been there for us, and they will be there for you too."
"TechSolve taught me a whole new line of thinking. I learned to ask, ‘What if,” to get outside the box."
"Our membership in BioOhio has provided us with a platform to assist and support the development of Ohio's bioscience industry. It has enabled us to connect with clients and furthered our ability to deliver specialized services to fit the needs of our bioscience and emerging growth clients. BioOhio membership also provides prospective clients with immediate recognition of our dedication and leadership within the industry."
