Posted on October 19, 1998

Cahners Business Information has announced the appointment of Jerry Steinbrink as Executive Director of Electronic Media/Manufacturing and Publisher of Manufacturing Marketplace, an Internet hub for manufacturing and engineering professionals. In addition, he will oversee and coordinate electronic media business initiatives for Cahners' Manufacturing Division.

Manufacturing Marketplace is an information resource for buyers and specifiers in the original equipment market (OEM), maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) and processing industries. The site provides manufacturing news feeds from Lexis/Nexis, content from manufacturing-related publications, special reports on current industry topics like the Y2K crisis, focus areas covering economics, new products, trade shows and jobs, as well as a Directory listing more than 50,000 products, services and suppliers.

"Manufacturing professionals are experiencing a sea change. Access to targeted information has become more valuable than many of the hard assets in their plants," said Steinbrink. "By combining Cahners' vast editorial expertise with web-based technologies, Manufacturing Marketplace delivers the focused information users need in a context they understand. That's exactly what the Internet should do."
