Better Manage Your Local and National Supply Chain

 

 

Managing your local and national supply chain is now easier with CONNEX™. CONNEX™ Michigan is a cloud-based platform that centralizes the Michigan supply chain network into a searchable scouting database and integrates with the national CONNEX™ Marketplace. After a successful launch and continued support for CONNEX™ Michigan, free lifetime access to CONNEX™ Marketplace has been EXTENDED for all Michigan manufacturers! This annual savings of $500 can be redeemed when manufacturers upgrade their CONNEX™ account before June 1, 2022, only through the Michigan Manufacturing Technology Center by using promo code: CMFFMI22

 

CONNEX™ puts members deep into the Michigan supply chain network and seamlessly integrates with CONNEX™ Marketplace, sponsored by the National Association of Manufacturers and designed to be the premier system for domestic supply chain sourcing and networking. Using search criteria and filters such as equipment, capabilities, services, certifications, location, set-aside suppliers (SBA, minority-owned, women-owned etc.) and so much more, manufacturers can quickly locate materials and supplies while buyers are able to quickly find the perfect manufacturer to meet their needs.

 

Join more than 325 Michigan manufacturers who are strengthening their business and growing their supply chain with CONNEX™. Those who have joined are already seeing the benefits of connecting through CONNEX™. They are responding to needs, like the following, posted by CONNEX™ users across the country.

 

CONNEX™ Michigan is always free for Michigan manufacturers. But be sure to upgrade your profile by June 1, 2022, to redeem FREE LIFETIME ACCESS to CONNEX™ Marketplace and view these national requests. When upgrading your account, enter promo code: CMFFMI22.
