7 Our goal is to be one of the leading manufacturers in Rhode Island that implements Smart Manufacturing, an idea centered around companies being innovative, technologically advanced, and agile to market changes. If we are successful, large business within the state and other geographic areas will look to partner with us as a leading electronics contract manufacturer who provides a business partnership rather than a business transaction more commonly seen in the outsourced manufacturing model. - Steve Gillissie, Marketing Director, VR Industries
