Manufactured in North Carolina is a directory of manufacturers based in North Carolina. When a company enrolls in MNC, it gets a profile page showing its location, the type of products it manufactures, relevant certifications and contact information. 

Profile pages can be linked to a company’s website and social media accounts as well. These profile pages serve to increase peer-to-peer networking and generate exposure and for small to midsize NC manufacturers. Membership in MNC is free, and anyone can search the site for free.

MNC is maintained by NC State University Industry Expansion Solutions and the North Carolina Manufacturing Extension Partnership. A major redesign in 2015-16 was made possible by a two-year, $250,000 grant from the US Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards and Technology. It was one of 10 grants given to Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership centers across the country that support pilot projects that build or enhance business-to-business networks.
