As a small startup manufacturing company, we needed to focus on low cost, low overhead operation. We decided to place our facility in Niagara County, not only because it offered a low cost solution, but the quality of the labor force, the accessibility to trucking and accessibility to Canada gave us an advantage that helped us to launch a product in a very competitive market. In addition, the NCIDA and the Center for Economic Development were able to offer low cost funding that we directed at marketing. This was one of the many critical factors that has lead to our growth.
