If you're not already familiar with one of our favorite non-profits, the New York Industrial Retention Network (NYIRN), then let us introduce you!NYIRN provides business services for manufacturers, conducts research on the industrial sector, and organizes advocacy for NYC manufacturers.
Like NYIRN, we think manufacturing is important to New York City. Manufacturing plays a critical role for the City's diverse job force. On average, blue collar jobs pay more than a retail or restaurant job and is more likely to be unionized and provide benefits.
One of NYIRN's services is Made in NYC, a free online business-to-business directory of products made in New York. Manufacturers can register their companies and buyers can search for locally-made products, including green products. Made in NYC also provides product sourcing assistance.
Local Labels frequently uses their online service in findingly locally made products to feature on our website and sourcing jobs locally such as printing and packaging services.

Many times after a summer thunderstorm or winter gale I witnessed the broken and discarded soldiers of the rain thrown to the curb or strewn upon a overflowing garbage can. Their metal skeletons exposed, belly up, for all the world to see. What a sad site it was. Now my heart is lighter knowing they live on, retired from their wet duties and reborn as satchels-hanging proud and strong from the arms of their carriers.
