NCMBC
I’ve spent hours on the DIBBS website trying to find a suitable solicitation to quote. SourceNC.com saves us time and money spent searching for that one solicitation that fits our company’s capabilities, capacity and expertise. Machine shops all over North Carolina benefit from the services provided by NCMBC, NC AA and SourceNC.com.
Advanced Machining Corp
SourceNC and the NC Defense Machining Initiative is very important to our company. All companies in NC who could benefit from these programs and are not participating are truly missing a great opportunity.
Tool Craft Inc.
We believe (especially in these times) that SourceNC opens a whole new window of opportunity for us that did not exist until this was put together, so...thanks.
Atlantic Aero, Inc.
I feel strongly that you can play a vital role in defense manufacturing for our state by connecting people and informing us of opportunities. You provide a great atmosphere for networking and I think as word circulates this will only get bigger. I am very happy we’re a part.
Turnamics, Inc.
The NC Defense Machining Initiative is extremely important to our area, but more importantly to our nation as a whole. As the economy has slowed and much of our manufacturing base has relocated to other countries in the past 20 years, we are losing vital expertise and skilled machinists that are not being replaced. North Carolina needs a viable and long term commitment in providing opportunities for continued growth and expansion within the machining industry.
C.A. Foy Machine Company
SourceNC is an extremely important effort to support our company's expanding manufacturing base. Machining from very simple to very complex components will become more important to us as we move more of our overall product manufacturing to North Carolina.

Given NAFTA, manufacturing operations being moved overseas (China, etc.), as well as, the poor global economy, small businesses/shops are faced with an ever declining market. Your organization provides us with great information and leads as to performing business with the government/military. This is a "win-win-win" situation. The small shops find work, the military gets its needed parts, and the revenue earned stays in North Carolina. You provide a great and much needed service! Thank you!
Spatial Integrated Systems, Inc.
The Defense Machining Initiative is very important to the growth of our company as many of the industries that we support at this time are fading away. This is a huge resource that without your support and guidance would be out of our reach. The information on the SourceNC web site is critical to our future well being and the information gleaned from the NC Defense Machining Initiative workshops and seminars will allow us to remain competitive.
CNC Precision Machining, LLC
I just wanted to say that we appreciate the work that has gone into the development of SourceNC.com. We find it to be user friendly and a time saver for our company. This should be a big help in sifting through the maze and zero in on Department of Defense contracts we want to bring into our manufacturing operation.
Lane Punch Corporation
I'm excited about working with MatchForce, NC AA, and SourceNC.com. I see these as great new tools providing an ongoing source of work. SourceNC notified me just before lunch that there are 7 jobs which I'm qualified to quote. What SourceHorizon has provided is most helpful and saves a lot of time and hassle on my end. They've done a great job!!!
