MFG Insight Group
SUPPORT BEYOND PROJECT INTELLIGENCE.
Supplier Connect is a service we provide to manufacturers, helping them identify and connect with relevant specialist suppliers as their projects and requirements develop.
It's an important part of how MFG builds relationships across the manufacturing sector. By offering something genuinely useful in return, we can engage with manufacturers earlier, develop a better understanding of their projects and remain a resource they can return to as new requirements arise.
Where we have already established contact with the appropriate decision-maker, Supplier Connect information can be shared digitally with their permission.
Where we have not yet reached the relevant decision-maker, we use personally addressed physical communication to introduce Supplier Connect and the support available through MFG. Physical mail is deliberately an important part of our approach, with open rates of over 90%.
It is part of how MFG supports both sides of the manufacturing sector: providing manufacturers with a useful route to specialist suppliers, while helping our members build awareness with businesses where genuine change, growth and investment is taking place.

VISIBILITY
INCLUDE YOUR COMPANY IN OUR COMMUNICATION
Supplier Connect also allows us to take our support for members a step further.
When you identify a project within MFG where you believe your products or services could be particularly relevant, you can choose to have your company included within our communication to that manufacturer.
This allows us to specifically make the decision-maker aware of your business, your capabilities and why you could potentially support the project we're currently tracking.
The purpose is awareness. It provides an additional way to put your business in front of manufacturers where we know relevant activity is taking place, alongside the proactive outreach your own sales team may choose to undertake.
CONNECT
WHEN A MANUFACTURER ASKS FOR SUPPORT
We help Manufacturers identify and connect with relevant specialist suppliers.
On occasion, a manufacturer may use Supplier Connect and ask MFG to help identify businesses that can support a particular requirement.
When this happens, we simply share the requirement with relevant members and ask who would like to be connected.
Members choose whether they wish to participate. Where there is a relevant fit, MFG makes the initial connection by email and leaves both parties to take the conversation forward directly.
We don't qualify or manage a sales opportunity, arrange meetings or become involved in the subsequent sales process.
