In case you missed it, on Tuesday DEED launched the Made in Minnesota Directory, a free online database of products and supplies manufactured in the state. The database was created by DEED to encourage Minnesota businesses to buy products and supplies from each other, rather than from out-of-state or foreign companies. The tool contains details for nearly 600 manufacturers statewide.
Businesses can use the database to find Minnesota manufacturers who make everything from food products to textiles, fabricated metals, machinery, and computers and electronics. The directory, which is available online at www.tinyurl.com/MadeinMinnesotaDirectory, is arranged so that users can search by product, company name or county.
Besides products and supplies, the Made in Minnesota Directory also contains the names and addresses of participating companies, year the businesses were established, corporate contact information, number of employees, products they make and products they are interested in buying from Minnesota suppliers. The directory also contains information on renewable energy products.
