SUPPLIER DATABASE
REDCo’s role in recruiting new business and industry to the El Paso/Juárez region allows us to maintain strong working relationships with the local supplier base. Our clients in the manufacturing industry seek to have current information on supplier capabilities. In order to adequately present the capabilities of suppliers in El Paso, Juárez and Southern New Mexico, we have implemented a campaign to gather and maintain supplier information.
The Supplier Database created and managed by REDCo’s partner, the City of El Paso Economic Development Department, can be used for either of the following two purposes:
- As a search tool for companies seeking suppliers in El Paso and/or Juárez
- To register a company that is a supplier in El Paso and/or Juárez
