Manufacturing

Ohio’s economy is built upon a historic legacy of manufacturing. From the processing of raw materials to the creation of finely tuned products, Ohioans have served as the world’s experts in the manufacturing sector. While the global marketplace has changed the playing field, distributing manufacturing into second- and third-world economies, Ohio remains at the top of the nation in manufacturing competitiveness.

Public and Private Sector Collaboration

February 13th, 2008, No Comments

Public and private sector collaboration is becoming increasingly important in creating an environment where companies can succeed in the global market. In Ohio, this relationship is strong. For example, public and private sectors came together to create Ohio's recent tax reform. The tax reform includes provisions that encourage companies to conduct business globally.

I recently spoke with Eric Boltz, president of Marathon Sensors Inc., about how Ohio's business climate has helped his company compete worldwide.

Q: What role do you think Ohio's tax structure will play in helping your company become a strong global competitor? Please share your thoughts.
