ACME WIRE PRODUCTS IS THE MADE IN CT MANUFACTURER OF THE WEEK
October 05, 2012
(Rocky Hill, Connecticut) – CONNSTEP announced today Acme Wire Products Co., Inc., is the featured Made in CT manufacturer of the week. Acme Wire Products is a custom fabricator of precision steel and stainless steel wire and metal components. Acme Wire Products provides custom tooled engineered parts of superior weld integrity. The company services markets as diverse as medical, food service, safety, material handling, sporting goods, OEM and electronic instruments and equipment.
“Acme Wire wanted to improve their internal controls although at the time no clients were demanding ISO registration as a condition of future business. This was a forward-thinking use of a quality registration as a growth strategy. The registration will gain Acme more business, but it will also give them a better dashboard to run their business.” Robert Kravontka, CONNSTEP Business Growth Advisor.
The Made in CT Program (www.made-in-ct.com) is a dedicated feature on the CONNSTEP website that has created a directory for the state’s manufacturers to showcase their products and services. Connecticut manufacturers can register to receive a complimentary company profile page to share company history, products/services and company news. The goal of the program is to showcase the products made in the Nutmeg State and highlight the contributions of the manufacturing community to the public. Additionally, the program provides social media forums for manufacturers to connect with one another and discuss industry issues.
All participating companies have the opportunity to become the featured manufacturer of the week. As the featured manufacturer of the week, PCI Medical will be prominently displayed on the CONNSTEP website as well as on the “Made in CT” Facebook page, LinkedIn group and Twitter feed (@CTMade).
“Connecticut’s manufacturers play an integral part in our state’s economic health and account for over 12 percent of the state’s total output. We are home to 5,000 manufacturers who employ more than 169,000 workers and serve as the primary exporter of goods,” says Bonnie Del Conte, president and CEO of CONNSTEP, “We are excited to provide an opportunity for our manufacturers to benefit from greater exposure and to be recognized for the important impact they make on the Connecticut community.”
“CONNSTEP solved a huge problem for us and helped us bring our delivery rate to 100%. As a direct result of that, we have been awarded with an increase in business which, ultimately, will also benefit (our supplier) Har-Conn.”
“I see great value in the new experiences and perspectives CONNSTEP brings to our business, at reasonable prices. They’re not like consultants, they’re like partners in the business – willing to roll up their sleeves and help.”
“CONNSTEP has proved to be a tremendous resource for ESI. CONNSTEP has helped us to adapt to today’s marketplace and remain a quality minded, competitive global player. Our ISO/TS16949 implementation process was efficient and rewarding. I look forward to our future projects with CONNSTEP.”
“CONNSTEP worked with FuelCell Energy to educate and facilitate Lean initiatives and to help meet our needs to establish an overall production improvement plan. This plan has been utilized over a period of time as a ‘guiding light’ to spur numerous improvements that dramatically reduced our product cost.”
“CONNSTEP is a valuable partner to Hologic, providing the expertise and ‘outside eyes’ everyone needs to keep their continuous improvement on track. We are now well-positioned on a dynamic growth path and look forward to a long-term relationship with CONNSTEP.”
“Our experience working with CONNSTEP has brought us benefits we never expected. It’s a great team to work with!”
“The goals of the team were to reduce manufacturing lead-time, reduce floor space utilized, and increase worker productivity. All the goals were met. CONNSTEP helped us to better compete.”
“The Business Growth Program is working well for us. We enhanced our website following the meetings to improve our SEO and become more visible to search engines. The segment on negotiating … promoted changes in our thinking and improved how we interact with customers. The mentoring between sessions was helpful in boosting our progress.”
