We have been fortunate to receive resources and sound technical assistance provided by the NHIRC. The caliber of both the faculty and students was excellent! We learned to use DOX which enabled us to gather powerful data to advance our project. The IRC is a terrific resource."

"PEI averted a planned shutdown of its operations in 1994. Sales have increased by more than 125%, and employment has increased from 90 to 127 people. A primary reason is the shortest lead time in the industry. A key factor was to eliminate the wide variation in vacuum pumping time. A NHIRC technical study has enabled PEI to address the variation in pumping time. A follow-on program allows us to select the most cost efficient insulation system."

	What Companies are Saying about the NHIRC Companies not only receive funds from the NHIRC. They also derive extensive benefit from the professors, students, and university facilities as part of the technical grant. In addition, many companies have found these partnerships to be a great source of new talent — recruiting the graduate students that worked on the project! Here's what some companies have to say: "By providing testing facilities, students, and learned professors, the NHIRC has helped us investigate various technical issues in the field of pollution control. We have found NHIRC's resources to be valuable and look forward to our continued relationship." Ed Neister, Chief Technology Officer Powerspan "Getting a matching grant from the IRC to work with UNH engineering faculty was the most straight-forward and efficient process we've ever seen. We plan to use IRC's resources for many years to come and strongly recommend it to any company with a technical problem - big or small, high-tech or low-tech." Tim Davis, President Saphikon, Inc. "The IRC helped us bring this from the drawing board to field testing. Once we complete the research and development phase, NT&E will introduce a new product that has applications worldwide."

The UNH faculty who tackled our production problem were great to work with and extremely knowledgeable. They helped us get the technical edge we needed to grow. I recommend the IRC to any NH company. It's a tremendous state resource." B. J.
