Machinery & Equipment Industry
Business Location Drivers
•
Rising shipping costs, particularly for sectors that must transport massive
machines, will see many firms investing in plants closer to the customer
•
Finding the right work force will play an equally important role
•
Factories now need highly trained workers – decisions could hinge on a state
of locality’s commitment to work force training
– New York State and St. Louis region are two areas that have made a
significant commitment to the type of technical workforce training
initiatives that machining and equipment manufacturing firms will need n
the 21st center

Advanced
Automotive
Advanced Automotive has been identified as the new sector,
defining an industry not by what is made but how it is made. This
new advanced automotive sector is defined by hundreds of
advanced technology initiatives in energy, safety and materials that
improve vehicle quality, safety and extend longevity.

Security
• Majority of homeland security is performed in the private sector,
with 85% of all critical infrastructures privately controlled; 35% of
all U.S. companies plan to invest in and expand security programs
(ASIS International Foundation Trends Report, 2005)
• Approximately $33 billion of federal funding in FY 2005 with heavy
emphasis on developing new technology to assist the four main
parts of effective preparedness:
– Prevention: Biometrics, vaccines, intelligent systems, cargo
screening systems
– Detection: Bio and radiation sensors, training
– Reaction: EMS equipment, communications, computer
modeling
– Recovery: Bioremediation, decontamination

Common Characteristics of Winning Organizations in attracting business
• Every winning agency used a state
of the art Web-site
• On-line databases of available
buildings and sites
• Work-force training initiatives moved
to the top of the “to do list”
• The ability to quantify and deliver a
trained work force in specialized skillset categories
• “Partnerships”: The ability to bring
together diverse groups under one
effort to market and promote a
geographical area “won more
projects than stand-alone cities and
counties”
Without the region as a whole, we
wouldn’t be where we are today.
Creating new jobs and investing
capital investment in our community
takes a cooperative effort on behalf
of local governments, businesses
and citizens.”
