Many, many apologies but through some breakdown in the blog software your question about the Otis Automatic Train Control company ended up in some electronic backwater and I didn’t come across it until just today. So once again, I’m sorry about the delay.

Regarding your question, do you have an approximate year of when they were in business? If so, that might help me track down some details.

All the best,

Mark

Comment on Local Manufacturing? Watch out for the EU. by Mark Pond

The European Commission has launched a new online database of the ingredients used in cosmetic products making it easier for companies to find up-to-date information on substances needed to develop new cosmetics or to improve existing ones.

The new database, called ‘CosIng’ (COSmetics INGredients), replaces the old pdf format list which was one of the most consulted documents on the DG Enterprise website. Using CosIng, businesses and authorities can now check if and how a substance is regulated at EU level, from when and how it has been regulated through the years and what are the opinions of the Scientific Committee on Consumer Products (SCCP) which form the basis of this legislation. Companies will no longer have to search through various documents to get the full picture.
Go directly to the database here: http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/cosmetics/cosing/

Thanks for the contribution. And indeed, the SBDC is a great place to turn for additional assistance. At www.spokanelibrary.org/business under the heading of Local Agencies, we have put together a list of organizations that provide business assistance in one form or another. This list includes the local SBDC. I will look into the SBDC’s CNIC and see if it would be a good addition to the library’s list of resources. Thanks again!
