Aurora, Illinois - Metal heat treating company www.nitrex.com

Situation - When Tammy DalBello joined Nitrex as the Manager of Quality and Regulatory Operations, she soon learned that plant safety was also part of her responsibilities. The 30-employee Aurora-based company heat treats metal parts that belong to their aerospace, automotive, and machining customers. By its nature, heat treat can be a dangerous industry, and DalBello knew that worker safety would be one of her highest priorities.

Tucker Kennedy spoke with Dave Dahl at WJBC Radio to discuss the ways Made in Illinois can help manufacturers gain a greater Internet presence.

“This is really an effort to increase the opportunities for Illinois manufacturing companies to gain visibility for the products and services that they’re producing here in the state,” said IMEC Vice President Tucker Kennedy. “Many small and mid-size manufacturers have difficulty getting themselves positioned externally, either on the Internet or with their customers through some of their traditional marketing channels.”

What are the Benefits of Liking Our Facebook Page?

A company launches a Facebook page not only to generate additional exposure for its business, but to provide a vehicle for its customers to have a deeper, more personal level of interaction with the company and its employees.   On IMEC’s Facebook page you will find tips and trends for improving operating performance that you may not necessarily see on our website, Twitter, or YouTube pages.   This information includes profiles of improvement projects, current industrial news, IMEC blogs, IMEC’s “Manufacturer of the Week,” and links to other Illinois manufacturing companies.   

Strategically, there are several advantages for an Illinois manufacturer to consider “liking” IMEC’s Facebook page.  You can interact more directly with our team, offer feedback on posts, or ask questions on our wall.    Here’s perhaps the most critical benefit of becoming socially active with IMEC.  While many manufacturers have made great strides in developing a web presence, far too many do not leverage the power of collaborating with other manufacturers to share solutions to common problems or to communicate about best practices.   At IMEC, our hope is to create an active network of participating Illinois manufacturing companies that will connect with one another for business opportunities….all through the IMEC Facebook portal.

If you don’t have a Facebook presence, we can help you develop one.   If you are active on social media, please “LIKE” IMEC.  In time, you will see the benefits.
