As of March 1, 2007, MARRV, the Manufacturing Alliance of the Rock River Valley, officially became a part of SupplyCore. The Rock River Valley (RRV) Area encompasses Winnebago, Boone, Ogle and Stephenson counties in northern Illinois. Created in May 2004, MARRV’s purpose was to combine the core competencies of small manufacturers to pursue larger projects than the individual companies could pursue on their own.
The Rock River Valley has a heritage of manufacturing since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Over the past twenty years, industry consolidation and corporate downsizing has eliminated scores of larger manufacturers from the area. The remaining infrastructure of small shops has over 1,300 manufacturers with 84% employing fewer than 99 employees and 76% employing fewer than 49 employees.
Solutions that MARRV provides to SupplyCore customers include:
- Supply Chain Management Support
Reduced quoting time, identification of new suppliers in less time and technical support.
- Reduction in the Supply Base
Through the use of flexible manufacturing networks, a lead company working with a group of companies would be the single source for a customer's procurement needs.
- Higher Value Supplier
By carefully building the right team of companies, a major assembly or product could be produced.

| Bennett and Jonelis Honored with Bronze Arrows |
The winner of SupplyCore's fourth quarter 2006 Bronze Arrow Award was Lori Bennett, Contract Manager. SupplyCore had been inundated with audit requests by DLA and GSA for much of the last six months of 2006. In December, we were notified that six auditors and two contracting professionals would be onsite for an audit of over 100 lines. Full detail and documentation was required to be available upon arrival.
SupplyCore received less than a week’s notice. Despite a medical condition requiring a pending surgery, Lori worked extra hours and the weekend to complete the requirement. In fact, she was in the office just hours after a very painful test procedure on a Saturday preparing materials.
After the audit was completed, SupplyCore was verbally notified by the lead auditor that we “met and exceeded their expectations.”
David Jonelis, Business Analyst, earned the Bronze Arrow Award for the first quarter of 2007. Over several months, and especially since January, David performed above and beyond by working extra hours, learning new programming, and tapping extra resources in the analysis and evaluation of new opportunities and their requirements.
David’s work in not only forecasting inventory requirements but also in performing detailed trend analysis (both progressive and regressive) has proven to be a very valuable tool in evaluating opportunities and creating strategies. His work has also helped to give SupplyCore even greater credibility in discussions with the Department of Defense and with our industry peers.
For their achievements, Lori and David earned $1,500, a SupplyCore Bronze Arrow pin, and a place on the Bronze Arrow Plaque at the Corporate office. Lori and David’s commitment exemplifies the best of SupplyCore.
