Welcome to the Community of Smaller Manufacturers. In every manufacturing segment there are companies significantly out performing their industry. We at MAGNET Client Services will show you how they do it.  The Community of Smaller Manufacturers (CSM) is organized to help companies achieve top-line growth, bottom-line savings.  CSM meetings will give participating executives the opportunity to work on their business and personal challenges with a dedicated group of peers whose only agenda is to help each other achieve their respective goals.  Individual, one-on-one, coaching sessions will be conducted to give focus to these challenges, discover the range of possibilities, plan the action, and remove barriers to success.   For more than 20 years, MAGNET has assisted more than 2,000 Northern Ohio manufacturers with projects generating over $2 billion of economic impact through increased sales, enhanced productivity and jobs retained and/or created.  Our smaller manufacturing clients report even more economic impact. It doesn’t matter what we say about our projects, it’s what our clients say that counts. Check out our client success stories at www.magnetwork.org.
