Maryland Manufacturing Network
Through the Maryland Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) and the State of MD Department of Commerce, a platform for Maryland-based manufacturers and suppliers has been created. This new portal provides “Suppliers” with a central place to list their capability, capacity and willingness to help the healthcare community and State of Maryland to fill gaps in the supply chain. More importantly, the portal provides “Buyers” the ability to quickly identify manufacturers and suppliers capable of supplying the critical and essential items.
