The DVIRC is part of Pennsylvania’s Industrial Resource Network, a program funded by the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED). The Centers are private, not-for-profit economic development corporations supported by the Commonwealth and managed by private industry. DCED has also been instrumental in helping the IRC Network compete for, and win, federal MEP awards, which are part of The National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Manufacturing Extension Partnership program.
We receive about one-third of our funding from these organizations, and depend on our consulting and training services for additional revenue. We seek to establish long-term relationships with our customers, and are measured on the value-added dollars our customers achieve by working with us. In 2006 alone, our customers documented over $170 million in cost savings or productivity improvements.
