NoCo Manufacturing Partnership Members,
Welcome to the December e-newsletter. The partnership continues to work diligently to support manufacturing across the region. In November, the Networks Committee hosted over 120 attendees at the Networking Night – Tariffs and What is on the Horizon for 2019? Pete Mento of Crane Worldwide Logistics provided some best best practices regarding tariffs and international trade which included:
- Strategic meeting with engineering, product design and purchasing to review section 232 aluminum exclusion, tariff engineering, dual sourcing and triangle and supply chain redesign
- Consult with legal finance, purchasing and procurement
- Join industry and trade organizations
- Host a tour for a member of Congress/Senate/Governor
Thank you to our event sponsors that made the event possible: Manufacturer’s Edge, World Trade Center Denver, Key Equipment Finance, and Frontier Metal Stamping.
If you are interested in more information about this and other topics provided by Crane Worldwide Logistics please CLICK HERE for details. We hope to see you at the next bi-annual member meeting January 17th. See more details below. Parent’s Night 2018 was a success, attracting over 500 students and parents, over doubling the participation from last year. This annual event helps parents understand the career opportunities in the manufacturing industry and connect with local manufacturers and educators.
Networks is wrapping up some details on a potential year-end donation match donor. Stay tuned for details! Thank you to Tolmar, Inc. and Specialty Products Company for their year end giving donation! Interested in donating? See details below.

We are looking forward to seeing you all at our Bi-Annual All Manufacturers Meeting on Thursday January 17th.
These meetings are very important to the sustainability of our Partnership. It gives all of our current and potential new members an opportunity to hear what we are doing as a Partnership. More importantly, it offers each of you the ability to voice your concerns on issues that are hindering you from growing your business. As an organization for manufacturers, lead by manufactures, this meeting is a perfect way to get involved in making Colorado Manufacturing stronger than ever.
After some quick updates on the Partnership initiatives, we will announce our newly elected board members. We have three slots being filled this year. The bulk of the meeting will be focused on work-based learning opportunities and resources available to create the talent you need to grow your business. Representatives from multiple programs will be available for information.
We will also be asking our meeting attendees to provide some ideas on our In-Site Tours and then NOCOM Speaker topics. Since our Partnership is all about our manufacturers, who better to tell us what tours would benefit you most and what speaker topics you would like to hear at our NOCOM 2019 Tradeshow.
Lastly, we will have having a B2B Networking event right after the meeting at Berthoud Town Hall. Join us for drinks and appetizers, sponsored by AuerCPA Co.
Feel free to pass the invitation along to other manufacturers- all manufacturers are welcome!
Limited RSVPs and please note that manufacturers will be given first priority.

Parent’s Night Update
On November 15th, over 500 parents and students attended the Parents Manufacturing, Design & Engineering Night hosted at Woodward in Fort Collins. This 3rd Annual event was sponsored by the Northern Colorado Manufacturing Partnership and planned by members of our Manufacturing Rocks! Committee. Students and parents were inspired to consider manufacturing related vocations and visited almost 40 exhibition booths to speak directly to people in those careers. Special thanks to our manufacturing experts: Heidi Hostetter, Paul Harter, Keith Korasick and Phil Montera! We are currently documenting the planning process and will have a planning toolkit available for this event in the near future. Our hope is to replicate Parents Night in more locations around Northern Colorado and beyond!
