MVEDA has received an interest from a client seeking potential supply chain connections with Doña Ana County businesses for distribution to several large national retailers.

On Wednesday, September 11, 2013, MVEDA will be hosting this company for the purpose of meeting one-on-one with businesses interested in getting their products to a larger audience.

The company is interested in meeting with those businesses that:
•  Sell bird seed
•  Grow fruits, vegetables, and/or nuts
•  Manufacture lawn and garden products
•  Manufacture “natural” home décor products (i.e., pine cone decorations, wreaths, potpourri, etc.)

Qualifications prior to meeting:
•  Must be an existing/established business within Doña Ana County.

There is NOT a minimum volume required, because the company will help interested businesses generate the volume required.

Businesses must RSVP to schedule a time to meet with the company by Monday, September 9 to the MVEDA offices.  To RSVP, please send an email to Eric Montgomery at eric@mveda.com.  The subject line should read “SUPPLY CHAIN CONNECTIONS”.  Emails should include:
•  Name of the business
•  Description of the business
•  Years in business
•  Products lines and descriptions of products
•  Current production capacities for each product line

Meetings with the company will take place at MVEDA’s offices on the third floor of the US Bank building in downtown Las Cruces (277 E Amador, Suite 304).
