CONNEX Marketplace is the U.S. Supply Chain Solution for Manufacturers & MEP’s
Installed Within Some of the Largest Manufacturing States in the Nation
Amidst the global supply chain challenges, many MEP centers around the country are trying to better connect local manufacturers and suppliers by implementing new tools to help them more easily find and do business with each other and shorten their supply chains.
While some MEP’s are looking to build new tools for this, the solution is already here! It’s called CONNEX Marketplace and it’s an online platform that connects all U.S. manufacturers into a single, accurate, searchable scouting-database allowing buyers, manufacturers and suppliers to quickly find and connect with each other based on their exact needs and capabilities.
It was built in collaboration with manufacturers around the country, the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) and many other manufacturing organizations to significantly help regional manufacturers and suppliers find new opportunities and shorten their supply chains.
