More than 130 northern Illinois manufacturers have registered to participate in a meeting Monday co-hosted by Congressman Don Manzullo to help them expand and create jobs by doing more business with international railcar manufacturer Nippon Sharyo USA.
The meeting will run from 10 a.m. to noon on Monday, March 7, at Northern Illinois University’s Rockford Education Center, located at 8500 E. State Street in Rockford (2/3 of a mile east of I-90). The media is invited to attend and cover the event.
Nippon Sharyo is establishing a $35-40 million railcar production facility in the city of Rochelle, IL and will be increasing its “local content” from the region. The free event is a great opportunity to learn how to be a supplier to this major passenger railcar manufacturer.
The program will focus on four elements: a general introduction of Nippon Sharyo, plans for the Rochelle Production Facility, opportunities for plant equipment and services, and opportunities for material/parts supply for rail vehicles.
