TR Cutler to Reveal Best Banks for SE U.S. Manufacturers

Survey Reveals Manufacturers Increased Reliance on Banking Relationship Banks Given Opportunity to Make Best Case by May 14th

Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) April 20, 2004 -- Fort Lauderdale-based Manufacturing Marketing and PR firm, TR Cutler, Inc. (www.trcutler.com) will reveal the best banks for manufacturers located in the Southeastern United States, particularly Georgia, North and South Carolina, and Florida.

According to TR Cutler, the July and August issues of Industrial Connection magazine, (the leading manufacturing publication for manufacturers in the Southeast with a circulation of 15,000) will publish the findings of this recently completed survey of 512 manufacturers.

Cutler pointed to some of the important findings: While fewer than ten percent of manufacturers surveyed rated their banking relationship as somewhat or very important in 2003, 52% said they anticipate an increasing reliance on their banking relationship over the next twelve months." Manufacturers expect manufacturing/banking relationships to become more important regarding loans, financial strategy, and mergers and acquisitions.

Cutler delayed publishing the data in an earlier edition of Industrial Connection because, It is important to give the banks an opportunity to make their case about how they best serve the manufacturing sector. We heard from the manufacturers and now want to collect feedback from the banks."

TR Cutler is a frequent contributing editor for Industrial Connection and hundreds of other industry and manufacturing sector publications. TR Cutler is also the author of the Manufacturers Public Relations and Media Guide and founder of the Manufacturing Media Consortium (1600 journalists writing about trends and data in the manufacturing sector worldwide.)
