Profiles of Manufacturing Hold-outs
Channel 13 just released a online video series about Brooklyn manufacturing businesses that have bucked the trend by sticking it out in the County of Kings while the tides have turned residential. Embedded above is a profile of Greenpoint-based metal fabricator Milgo/Bufkin. You can also see profiles of Angel’s Bakery and Embee Sunshade here.

oops- I did mean to spell it “holistic”
Well, i am afraid to speak out on these issuesbecause whenever i say something about the need to keep and promote manufacturing in NYC i get beat down but that’s my position and I firmly believe it’s important to the health of NYC as well as the rest of the country. we need a much more holkistic view of the economy and how it works- I think the last month has pretty much shown the problem with business as usual.
My client is working to accomodate more and more of these speciality manufacturers. Takes a bit of work and not very profitable but imporant and necessary. Chris@iccws.com

None of the bodegas in Bed Stuy carry black & white cookies. I wish they’s turn the bodega next to me into a condo because the one down the street (on someone else’s block!!) is better.
As someone who was manufacturing in Manhattan as late as 2001, I know exactly how it feels. The umbrella guy’s finished and even the workers know it.
On the bright side it’s unlikely that there will be many condos built in Brooklyn for the next decade, so that should take some of the pressure of manufacturing real estate.
i definitely plan to watch these later. thanks. love this kind of stuff.
