GROWING JOBS IN COLORADO
Manufacturer’s Edge works with small manufacturing companies to create high-paying manufacturing jobs in Colorado. The winner in 2014 of an open competition to become Colorado’s Manufacturing Extension Partner (MEP), Manufacturer’s Edge is a public-private partnership providing small manufacturers with services to help grow their businesses and create well-paying, stable manufacturing jobs for Colorado’s middle class families. As an MEP, Manufacturer’s Edge is measured quarterly on how many jobs are created or saved by the work we do. We focus completely on driving that job growth and expanding the Colorado economy.
Of the 6,000 manufacturers in Colorado, 80% employ less than 20 people. Manufacturer’s Edge is the only federal program dedicated to serving small manufacturers, and fills the gap left by for-profit companies who overlook this large segment. We are proud to be able to serve this constituency and help more and more Coloradoans prosper in the growing manufacturing economy of our state.

LIBERTY HOME PRODUCTS FLOURISHES DESPITE PERSONAL TRIALS THANKS TO STRATEGIC COACHINGABOUT Liberty Home Products has been producing high quality home accessories for the Denver area since 1979. As a locally owned and operated company with an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, Liberty has an outstanding reputation for providing Colorado homeowners with “security, beauty and safety for family, friends and pets”. Some of the many products they offer include steel security storm doors, steel safety railings, and custom iron gates as well as retractable awnings and solar shades.
THE CHALLENGE When Owner and General Manager Sue Mahon’s husband, Dick, incurred a series of health issues, she suddenly found herself at the helm of an entire company and manufacturing facility. Even though she had an excellent Operations Manager to assist her with the transition, she still felt “ill-prepared to deal with the operational end of the business and decided to seek help from Manufacturer’s Edge.
THE SOLUTION Manufacturer’s Edge was able to provide strategic coaching of Sue and her entire leadership team in order to assist them both with the operational transition following Dick’s stroke as well as to develop strategies for navigating the recession. The results have been incredibly positive and have helped Liberty retain jobs, add new positions, invest in their facilities, and increase sales.
