Alternative Energy Manufacturing Networking Groups to Form
A little more than a year ago, The Right Place, Inc. and Varnum organized a group of West Michigan manufacturers who supply components to wind turbine OEMs. West Michigan companies like Betz Industries, Burke E. Porter, Carter Products, Energetx Composites and others now comprise the West Michigan Wind Manufacturers Network. The group meets monthly and seeks to increase the participation of other companies who manufacture wind turbine parts and pieces. The Right Place and Varnum are now organizing similar groups around solar energy equipment and biomass energy equipment. If you or your company is interested, contact Rick Chapla of The Right Place at ChaplaR@rightplace.org, for more information. There is no cost to participate in any of the supply chain networks.
