The Montana Manufacturers Information System (MMIS) brings Montana Manufacturers closer to each other electronically, if not physically, by providing detailed and up to date information about each manufacturer's products, processes, and capabilities in one free easily accessible website. In addition, the MMIS will help Montana manufacturers locate potential new customers by linking them with worldwide markets. Manufacturers and decision-makers can use the MMIS to identify new markets, new sources of materials, supplies, and services; pursue opportunities to supply products and services now being purchased out of state; locate potential partners for cooperative production, marketing, buying, and shipping; analyze the condition and outlook of Montana's manufacturing industries.
