2006.03.28 Excellence Roundtable invitation: Closing Constant Systems

Please come together at the Charter One Global Enterprise Center for a very special Excellence Roundtable with a specific purpose - Closing Constant Systems.

For this proactive lunchtime discussion, Constant Systems' Aiden Audouy and Diane Brown will demonstrate their technology and explore with us the factors influencing whether their company will locate valuable business operations in NEO, or Research Triangle. By being at this Roundtable, you can help them determine NEO is the best location in the nation and prove that to their CEO.

For several months, these executives from the $1+ billion British company Score Group (http://www.score-group.com/ [1]) have been in Cleveland attempting to make all the connections necessary to locate in Northeast Ohio an expansion of their biotechnology division, Constant Systems (http://www.constantsystems.com/ [2]). Community economic development leaders want Constant Systems to locate here, and we're holding this Excellence Roundtable to help make necessary connections.

Constant Systems manufactures a cell disruption device (see their website and comments below for applications). This is used for medical research, as well as analysis and production of complex compounds. Constant Systems is an established global leader in a growing industry, and we will be very fortunate to have some of their global operations here. Further, their parent Score Group provides a variety of engineering services to clients in the Oil and Gas, Power Generation, Defense and Aerospace industries. Score Group makes such large manufactured components as valves and turbines, parts of which may be forged, machined and assembled here.

Score Group and Constant Systems offer local design, engineering, manufacturing, assembly and operations opportunities - exactly the type of business we want here. 

Aiden and Diane are very excited to be in Cleveland, but they need to develop more direct relations with researchers in our healthcare and R&D community. Specifically, Aiden and Diane need to demonstrate to their CEO that from NEO they can access the US medical device market. If Aiden and Diane can thus prove NEO is a good location for their US operations, they may move forward with their expansion here.

As an additional benefit of having Constant Systems here, we become a center of R&D in and around a very special biotechnology - cell disruption. Constant Systems sees ahead very exciting new applications for their technology, which will lead to dramatic market growth that will benefit our community... if we can close Constant Systems!

Be part of the solution. Join us March 28, 2006, for a demonstration of the Constant Systems cell disruption device and to join a NEO economic development case study in its final stage - the close.

This Roundtable is located at 737 Bolivar Road. There is a parking lot next to this building, and there should be ample meter parking in the area, and this is just a short walk from Tower City and much mass transit... great historic restoration setting and space - we'll have lunch catered by Alesci's so there'll be pizza, salad, etc - we'll make sure vegetarians are covered well, too. No charge for lunch.

To attend this roundtable, please contact me immediately at 216-534-1732 or norm [at] realinks [dot] us.

This roundtable is cohosted by REALNEO, the Charter One Global Enterprise Center, the World Trade Center Cleveland [3], and TeamNEO [4].
