About

The CEN is a not-for-profit member organization comprised of more than 75 small and medium-sized manufacturing businesses in the Capital Region. Since its inception in 1987, the CEN has focused on providing a high quality forum for its members to discuss common issues, share knowledge, and develop best practices by drawing on the collective knowledge of its membership.

The CEN provides a variety of programs, networking events and professional development opportunities for its member executives. As an affiliate of the Center for Economic Growth (CEG), a private, not-for-profit business development organization serving New York's Capital Region and Tech Valley, CEG programs are also available to CEN members.

Small and medium-sized manufacturers must take advantage of opportunities to increase productivity and reduce costs in order to remain competitive and profitable. CEN's mission is to help provide the opportunities, information, resources and knowledge that will assist members in enhancing revenue and increasing employee productivity.
