GM will Invest $127 Million in Bedford Plant
General Motors is making another major investment in Indiana. The automaker will invest more than $127 million in its Bedford Casting Operations plant and create around 127 jobs.

3 Reasons to Register Your Company with the Indiana Supplier INsight Database
Indiana Supplier INsight is a valuable database tool, and it is an integral part of the effort of Conexus Indiana to promote and support advanced manufacturing and logistics throughout the state. Of the many reasons to ensure your company is in the database, I believe these are the top 3:

1. Get noticed! Conexus Indiana regularly receives requests for supplier listings from various entities like IEDC, OEM's, Tier-1's, etc. You can't get on a list if you're not registered.

2. Invitations to matchmaking events. Last year, we facilitated over 125 supplier matchmaking meetings. Invitations were sent to companies found using Indiana Supplier INsight.

3. Receive notifications of procurement opportunities. This past quarter, there were over 130 procurement opportunities posted to Indiana Supplier INsight. Only companies who register receive notifications.
