Mission
To help small and mid-size manufacturers enhance their ability to compete
successfully by providing them with consulting, education and strategic
partnering.
History
The Manufacturers Resource Center (MRC) is a non-profit organization
founded in 1988. We assist small and mid-size manufacturers in improving
their productivity and quality, lowering their costs and advancing their
competitiveness using state-of-the-art technologies and proven business
techniques. MRC assistance can be in one of six forms:
- Assessment/benchmarking
- Problem solving/management consulting
- Specific one-on-one assistance
- Specialized training
- Resource location and coordination
- Group activities/users groups
- Grant application facilitation
We are one of seven Industrial Resource Centers funded by the
Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, which gives
us an advantage of being the first stop for any programs and funds
available through the state.
Our headquarters is located in Bethlehem, PA and we also have
offices in Jim Thorpe and Reading, PA.
Our service area includes Berks, Carbon, Lehigh, Northampton and
Schuylkill counties.
We are also affiliated with the National
Institute of Standards and Technology Manufacturing Extension Partnership
of 70 centers nationwide, which ties us to a huge network of experts on
any topic, the national labs and federal funding resources.
