Trade shows are a really good way to start, where you\'ll get a chance to see demonstrations of all sorts of products from suppliers in your industry. Another thing you may want to try is the Thomas Registry of Manufacturers, which can be found at your local major library or online at http://www.thomasnet.com/ . There you can look up suppliers by industry and geographic region to find the people best suited to your business.
