About the IRC Network

The IRC Network represents the seven private, non-profit Industrial Resource Centers located strategically throughout the Commonwealth. These Centers were established to help small- and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises (SMEs) respond to changing markets, new technology and the competitive pressures of today’s global economy.

Working collaboratively, company by company, the Network’s mission is to help the commonwealth’s manufacturers envision where they want to be and assist them to achieve it.

The Centers strive to keep the manufacturing sector strong, help it grow by assisting manufacturers with improved bottom line strategies – productivity enhancement and waste elimination and with top line growth by supporting strategic initiatives - new and improved products, market differentiation and workforce development strategies.
