The entrepreneurial spirit has long been a motivation behind the success of many American businesses. This can be seen in the number of small businesses in America. While we often think about manufacturing as an industry of large powerhouse brands, it is also an industry that owes its success to the tenacity of small business owners. Depending on the definition this could be a business with 50 or fewer employees or full-time equivalents or 25 or fewer employees or full-time equivalents.
Power in Small Numbers
Many Americans don’t realize that these small businesses truly make up the backbone of American businesses. One figure quotes up to 80 percent of the businesses in the U.S. are workplaces made up of 25 employees or less. If you’ve always thought of power being in the numbers, this might be a viewpoint that seems hard to wrap one’s head around. As a small deburring solutions manufacturer located in Cleveland, Ohio, the news of the power of a small business is something we experience each and every day.
Tailoring the Deburring Process
The Cleveland Deburring Machine Company understands the importance of reliable deburring solutions. The importance of cost-effective solutions continues to grow in relevance with more and more manufacturers seeing first-hand how products can benefit and last longer with more emphasis on the last step of manufacturing process. This realization includes increasing need for deburring solutions among manufacturers working in industries such as fluid power, powdered metals, power transmission, aerospace and defense, gears and sprockets all are hungry for high-volume repeatable process and flexible, easy-to-adjust deburring solutions.
Ohio Supporting Small Business
While small business owners understand the impact of their work on the greater community and beyond, those businesses haven’t always earned the respect they deserved. After years of back-and-forth and empty promises it seems like small businesses in Ohio might be getting the recognition they deserve in the form of better collaboration with state and national entities and the possibilities of tax breaks and reductions for qualifying business owners.
In February came the news of a goal for better collaboration between the Ohio Development Services Agency and the Ohio Department of Taxation. This help could come in the form of helping business find qualified employees, support in the form of taxes and grants and winning contracts in new markets, according to an article in the Dayton Business Journal. In a number of ways this initiative dovetails with some of the same issues facing the manufacturing industry with the skills gap and the need for better job training programs.
Creating Collaboration
Perhaps it’s time for lawmakers and other interested entities to take a cue from some of the successes experienced by long-time small business owners in the manufacturing industry. Namely, learning how to work alongside customers and interested parties to create workable solutions.
