The Nebraska Manufacturing Extension Partnership has officially launched the Nebraska Sourcing Database--a tool to connect manufacturers across the state. "A major initiative across the National MEP Network is improving our domestic supply chain," says Dale Dolezal, supply chain project manager for the Nebraska MEP. "We've worked with the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce, local chambers and economic development groups, as well as individual companies to provide a publicly-accessible database to connect Nebraska companies with each other.
The database is searchable by name, city, county, industry classification, product category, manufacturing capability and industry served. This service is offered at no charge and was made possible through a grant from the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) Manufacturing Extension Partnership, a division of the U.S. Department of Commerce.
The database will be maintained by the Nebraska MEP. If companies wish to update their information they may use an online form at https://go.unl.edu/mfgintake or contact Dale Dolezal at ddolezal4@unl.edu
