Technology Finder™ - Information Search and Technical Research Services
ManufactureLink has many years experience in assisting people to locate business information, contacts, niche capability and technical information they need to run and grow their businesses, develop new products or overcome technical barriers. Often a person or business is capable of conducting the research themselves but don't have the expertise, don't have the resources to allocate, or simply don't have time. Many times people have requested ManufactureLink's assistance to locate a vital piece of information they need after trying themselves for many weeks or months. We have often been able to locate what they need within minutes.
ManufactureLink has seen many firms encounter technical barriers to growing their businesses that can easily by solved by someone who knows how to locate a solution. ManufactureLink is staffed by technical experts who can quickly diagnose your enquiry to determine the core problem and call on our in-depth knowledge and extensive industry contacts to develop a solution.
So ManufactureLink introduced Technology Finder™ as part of our service. For a small fee* ManufactureLink can conduct the research you need and provide you the business information you need to grow your revenue. Best of all we operate on the basis that if we can't find what you need, you don't pay.
Some examples of types of searches we regularly conduct for our customers:
- Locating manufacturing businesses with unique or niche manufacturing capability (domestic and off-shore).
- Locating design engineers with specific experience.
- Locating unique machinery with specific requirements.
- Searches for software solutions.
- Technical research to overcome technical barriers.
- Locating businesses who can develop a solution to your problem.
- Locating new or unique processes for manufacturing efficiency gains.
- Location or research expertise and specific testing or certification authorities.
- Location of raw material supplies or suppliers.
- Finding Government assistance programs to suit your needs.
- Finding important business information to base decisions on.
The above are just a sample of types of searches we accomplish all the time. But we love a challenge and we like to say that if we can't find it, it doesn't exist. When ManufactureLink does the research for you, you get the information you need faster, and your staff are free to do their regular, value-adding duties.

* ManufactureLink charges a flat fee for all Technology Finder™ services. However, there are limits on how much time we can allocate to each enquiry. When making your enquiry, ManufactureLink will advise if we feel the solution will take extensive time to develop. If the enquiry will take longer than the standard service allows, we will provide a quote for approval before commencement. In nearly all cases the standard time allocated is sufficient.
