Warren, MI (PRWEB) July 2, 2006 -- Zycon is proud to join the U of M Great Lakes Trade Adjustment Assistance Center (TAA) in the rescue of Michigan Manufacturers. TAA is a program administered by the University of Michigan and provides marketing assistance to manufacturers that have lost business and released employees due to low priced competition from off-shore companies. Any manufacturer that has had a decline in business over the past 12 months, or has had a 5% loss of employees due to foreign competition can get financial assistance for programs to improve productivity and advertising to generate new customers. TAA will help with product development, marketing plans, training, process improvement, and other projects. TAA is a cost-sharing program that helps manufacturers to create an action plan for the future. The TAA will provide matching funds for these projects.
