Thank You

On behalf of our entire team, I would like to thank the many New Jersey manufacturers, our partners NJBIA and NJTC, all of our solution implementation partners, and of course the many members of the State Senate and Assembly for your hard work in trying to get the state’s investment restored for NJMEP.  Your letters and phone calls did not go unnoticed, but unfortunately the Governor had to make very difficult choices for 2009. We will continue to work with the Governor to be a top choice for state investment in 2010.

To each of you, thank you for your energy, effort, and support. We will work closely with you again as we plan for 2010.

To our current and prospective clients, NJMEP will continue to provide the same service and quality we have for the past eleven years to help you and other manufacturers in New Jersey become more productive, profitable, and globally competitive.

Again, thank you for your help and ongoing support of NJMEP.  

You may call me 24/7 at 973-219-3833 to discuss how NJMEP can help you and your company.

Sincerely,
Robert J. Loderstedt, President & CEO, New Jersey Manufacturing Extension Program, Inc.
