Nterprisers Recognized With 2026 "Manufacturing Service Provider" Award

Nterprisers has been recognized by the Providence Business News (PBN) with the 2026 Manufacturing Service Provider award.

The award, part of PBN's annual Manufacturing Awards program, recognizes Nterprisers for services and support provided to the state's manufacturing community.

"The Nterprisers team is honored to be recognized for partnership and support of manufacturers," said Co-Founder and CEO Deepa Krishnamurthy. "Rhode Island is where we launched our mission to make all manufacturers visible, more resilient and more investable, and it's wonderful to be recognized with an award in our home state." 

Nterprisers' industrial intelligence solution was born in Rhode Island and refined with input from RI manufacturing leaders. Since the platform launched with profiles of all 1400 Ocean State manufacturers in 2025, it has expanded coverage rapidly across the country and strategic supply chains. Today, Nterprisers users can solve sourcing, sales, M&A, succession planning and other critical challenges by tapping into high-quality data for manufacturers across 15 states.

Nterprisers was nominated by Washington Trust, whose team relies on the platform's industrial intelligence to serve manufacturing clients.

Joseph Confessore, Senior Vice President and Managing Director Commercial and Private Banking, said “By giving manufacturers greater access to information, connections, and opportunities, Nterprisers is helping strengthen an industry that plays an important role in Rhode Island’s economy."

Confessore added, "We are excited about the impact Nterprisers is having across the state’s manufacturing sector and proud to be part of their journey. Congratulations to Deepa and the entire Nterprisers team on this well-deserved recognition.”

On October 6, PBN named all 2026 winners, which include a Strategic Leadership Award for Felix Brockmeyer, CEO and President of igus, Inc., and the Manufacturing Champion Award for Steven J. King, Managing Director at Quonset Development Corporation. Click here to read the full list.
