March 24, 2011, Sarnia-Lambton ON – A new website is poised to help member companies of the Sarnia Lambton Industrial Alliance (SLIA) promote their services globally.
The recently-formed cluster of manufacturing, machine shop, engineering, and environmental service companies formally launched their new website on March 23, 2011. The site can be found at www.sarnialambtonindustrialalliance.com.
A key feature of the new website is a search engine which offers detailed information on the services provided by member companies of the Sarnia Lambton Industrial Alliance. This feature makes it easy for potential clients to select which products or services they require and be provided with a list of local companies that are eager to assist with their needs.
The new site also features a short video displaying the diverse industrial skills available in Sarnia-Lambton, and also a brief history of the area.
David Moody, Project Leader, Business Growth Services, Sarnia-Lambton Economic Partnership, has been working to form the Industrial Alliance for nearly two years. He notes that local companies have embraced working together to market their capabilities and attract new business to the area.
Moody credits volunteers Chairman Larry MacDonald and Co-Chairman Mike Banovsky with keeping the project moving forward. “MacDonald and Banovsky have the industry knowledge and connections that are making the project a success,” says Moody. “They were selected by the group to lead the process and I can really understand why.”
Along with other marketing efforts on behalf of the Industrial Alliance, MacDonald and Banovsky will be travelling to Edmonton to participate in the Oil Sands Buyers Sellers Forum on March 29 – 31. They have been invited to provide promotional materials and make contact with potential clients through the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development and Trade’s booth at the Forum.
Funding for the Sarnia Lambton Industrial Alliance website was supplied by the Federal Government’s National Research Council and was supported by the Sarnia-Lambton Economic Partnership. Also included was funding to assist local companies in building or improving their individual websites and for training to help them maximize their marketing efforts.
