This website ‘IllinoisManufacturing.net’ is a result of the McHenry County EDC’s Business Accelerator for Innovation & Collaboration’s (BAIC) program which was created through a partnership between McHenry County EDC, McHenry County College and Illinois Congressman Don Manzullo.
In effect from 2006 to 2009, it was established to focus on the needs of over 600 manufacturers in McHenry County and provide business & technical assistance free of charge. It was very successful touching almost all of the 600 manufacturers in the county and provided a wide variety of assistance and financial support.
As the regional economic development entity in McHenry County, we recognize that our manufacturing base is a vital component of our economy having a significant impact on primary jobs. EDC will continue to provide focus and initiatives to help support our manufacturers developing new programs and opportunities.
The ‘Directory’ listing provides a searchable database and can be updated as your company grows.
As new events are scheduled, this information will also be posted on this website under ‘News & Events’.
The mission of McHenry County EDC is to help shape the economy of McHenry County through retention, expansion and attraction. As such, we are eager to assist you with challenges you may face, as well as opportunities to expand.
