Business Partnerships and Alliances

DMC is continually working at forging relationships with our suppliers to establish solid and predictable supply channels.  Through use of Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI), DMC is able to reduce costs and better manage JIT manufacturing process. Suppliers can also opt to enter into non-disclosure agreements with DMC to be involved in the company’s research and development efforts.  

 

DMC has a successful partnership with several universities to promote research in the solar energy field. Alliances with these universities have allowed DMC to host internship programs and promote interest in the areas of photovoltaic storage alternatives and uses for the alternatives. DMC has also benefited from attaining graduates that enhance the company’s research capabilities.

 

DMC is also very active in forming durable relationships with customers and establishing long term contracts that provide for steady and consistent production flows. DMC is following a strategy that provides mutual benefit to retailers that agree to stock only our solar cell product lines in their stores. Additionally, DMC is using targeted marketing techniques to city, county, and state governments for establishing durable contracts for use of DMC’s industrial product line that cover initial plans, maintenance, and renewal/replacement plans.
