Manufacturing

Buffalo Niagara’s proud industrial heritage is the foundation of our regional economy.  With 1,200 companies in Erie and Niagara counties and nearly 11% of the Buffalo Niagara workforce employed in the sector today, manufacturing will be critical to our future success as well. There are currently new and exciting opportunities for reinventing American industry and innovation and BNP is focused on maximizing local competitiveness in this changing economy.
