Thank you to all attendees for making the Rhode Island B2B and Manufacturing Week Kick-off a success, we’ve had some great feedback!

“Great Virtual B2B yesterday.  Well done by your team” – Todd C. Postler, Senior Account Executive, Cyber Communications, Inc

“Thanks Dave! And big Kudos to you and all those who were involved with setting up and running yesterday’s event. Great event, very resourceful.
Thank You” – Renay Curran, Vice President & CFO – R&R Machine Ind. Inc.

“Kudos to the terrific team at Rhode Island Manufacturers Association – RIMA for organizing such a strong B2B and #manufacturingmonth kick-off conference Tuesday! It was great to see the state’s Manufacturing community come together, learn and share. Three cheers for Tarah Warner MBA, FMP, the event producer, David Chenevert, RI’s tireless manufacturing champion, and Deborah Cochrane, membership maven!” – Polaris MEP

RIMA put together a really successful event. It was great to be able to connect with individuals one on one and in a group setting. The platform was easy to navigate, and it was fun to see so much interaction even though we weren’t in person. I found myself speaking with individuals that I might not have otherwise, and I already have meetings set up to continue the conversations next week”. – Elizabeth Shanley, The Fehlig Group

RIMA's Mission

The mission of the Rhode Island Manufacturers Association (RIMA) is to be the unified voice of Rhode Island’s 1,600 manufacturers. The Rhode Island Manufacturers Association advocates at the federal, state, and local levels for sensible policy solutions that strengthen Rhode Island manufacturing, and serves as a bridge connecting RIMA members with the resources they need to compete and grow.

Governor Gina Raimondo

“Most of our manufacturers are small businesses too. For every Electric Boat, there are dozens of smaller manufacturers like FarSounder in Warwick and Swissline Precision in Cumberland. Last year, manufacturing companies created 1,500 new jobs. My dad spent his career in manufacturing, and making a living making things gave him so much pride.
 
Let’s bring that pride back. This year, I’m again calling on the legislature to pass the Rhode Island Manufacturing Initiative. It’s a good plan that helps smaller manufacturers buy new equipment and hire more people.”

ManuFacts

There are 1,600+ manufacturing companies in Rhode Island.

Rhode Island boasts a very diverse industry mix of both large and small manufacturers. The majority of Rhode Island manufacturers are S corps or other flow through entities (taxed at individual level not corporate).

Nationally, manufacturing is the nation’s main resource for innovation.

Manufactures in the United States perform two-thirds of all private-sector R&D in the nation, driving more innovation than any other sector.
