Connecting with other members, you're able to network, share successes, challenges and collaborate with others all across the country.
Training & Education
Members have access to a variety of different training seminars, webinars and specialty groups where you learn more about items that impact your business. You and your team can learn from others along with industry experts when it comes to operations, human resources, process improvement, sales training and other key areas of your total business operations.
Discounts & Rebates from Suppliers
With our members' input, we carefully research and evaluate potential suppliers. Like you, our criteria and standards are high. Beyond price advantages, ongoing supplier evaluations assure members of high-quality products and dependable performance.
Member businesses save on just about all items from consumable materials to plant supplies, services - even capital equipment. CSCNetwork negotiates a discount program with each supplier, and many suppliers offer rebates (paid directly to members) on top of the deep discounts. Last year, CSCNetwork members received more than $5 Million in rebates directly from program suppliers. That averages out to $47,500 per member, which pays for the cost of membership many times over.
