Xcel Energy and The Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>are new supporters for NOCOM 2018<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Loveland, Colorado\u2014 Northern Colorado Manufacturing Partnership (NoCO)<\/a> has announced two major new sponsors for its NOCOM 2018 manufacturing trade show April 12, 2018: The Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT)<\/a> and Xcel Energy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These two organizations join a team of sponsors that include FirstBank, Aerotek, Flood and Peterson, and EKS&H. These sponsors all add to the manufacturing sector in Colorado and contribute to the development of the industry.<\/p>\n

OEDIT is sponsored by the state to provide opportunities to businesses and enterprises in Colorado. The office, under the leadership of Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper, provides financial and technical assistance supporting local and regional economic development projects throughout the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe quickly expanding advanced manufacturing industry in Northern Colorado plays an important role in the state\u2019s economic landscape,\u201d said Katie Woslager, senior manager of Advanced Industries at the Colorado Office of Economic Development. \u201cWe are proud to sponsor the 2018 NOMCOM to facilitate further growth and collaboration in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Xcel Energy provides power to residents across Colorado and beyond, while providing resources required by the manufacturing industry. Xcel Energy is tied in with the manufacturing sector in Colorado, providing products and services to many firms in the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the growth Colorado is experiencing, our partnership with Xcel Energy is imperative,\u201d said NOCOM 2018 Chair and H2 Manufacturing Solutions CEO Heidi Hostetter. \u201cColorado is one of the fastest growing states in the nation. Northern Colorado, specifically Larimer and Weld counties, is growing twice as fast as the state. It is important that we address our options sooner than later, and this type of growth has to include our energy partner. Local manufacturers are well aware of the need to be more involved with our local and state side Xcel Energy teams. Together we need to take advantage of Xcel Energy\u2019s packages, rebates and programs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Governor\u2019s arm for economic development is a key and critical partner to NOCOM and really reflects the commitment from a state level to our manufacturing community,\u201d said Christine Juker of the Northern Colorado Manufacturing Partnership. \u201cPartnering with Xcel Energy addresses a huge and critical infrastructure need that all manufacturers face.\u201d<\/p>\n

About<\/strong> Northern Colorado Manufacturing Partnership<\/strong><\/p>\n

The NoCo Manufacturing Partnership was formed in 2013 as a result of Governor Hickenlooper\u2019s state Economic Development plan called the Colorado Blue Print. The Blue Print identified 11 key sectors of the economy in Colorado by region. Northern Colorado\u2019s two main sectors identified were Health and Wellness and Advanced Manufacturing. Regions within the state were encouraged to form sector partnerships to provide more localized grass roots support to augment state efforts in each sector. These would be industry specific, led by business, in partnership with economic development, education and workforce development. A collaboration arose as part of the Blue Print process involving people from each of these affiliations and the NoCo Manufacturing Partnership was born. It continues to be an all-volunteer, business led, FREE membership organization designed to support Northern Colorado manufacturers. It is served by a Board of Directors, representing each affiliation from private business to local government, as well as two active committees: Networking and Manufacturing Talent\/Rocks!
