What our members say about us:
“As a privately held medium size manufacturing business, KCMN provides SOR a readily available network of other businesses to seek advice from, bounce ideas off of, share best practices, and develop lasting relationships with. Being a part of the network is like having a broad based consulting firm on retainer without having to write a big check each month!” – Bert Benton, SOR, Inc.
“KCMN provides “application” educational opportunities to our managers that aren’t normally covered by the technical societies they belong to.” – Mike Miller, Webco Manufacturing
“We belong to KCMN as it allows us the opportunity to interact with other manufacturers that care about making their businesses better. The opportunity to interact with other companies through the Lean Sub Group, along with meeting topics that are geared towards manufacturers, provides us an opportunity that we would not obtain with other organizations. If you want to compete in today’s manufacturing environment, why not be a part of an organization where you can interact with other manufacturers wanting to do the same for their businesses and not only survive but thrive and prosper?” – Chris Vering, Knit-Rite
