Cantwell-Cleary Co.

SIBC students will research and present a two-part project.

• International Supply Chain: Discover and optimize domestic options Cantwell-Cleary Co. has for various product lines and how to reduce foreign exposure in its supply chain.

• Establishing Radial Market Dominance: Establish market dominance within a 10–15-mile radius of each warehouse location by developing a powerful marketing process and securing assets which guarantee rapid delivery.  In a wholesale industry, service rather than products more often provide opportunities for differentiation between competing companies.  If successful, this project would allow the client to dominate a particular niche and demographic in specific geographical locations in the mid-Atlantic region.

"Working on the Cantwell-Cleary project has helped me to appreciate just how impactful one’s work can be on a company’s future. Assisting Cantwell in revising its mission and values, in addition to conducting vendor analysis for them, was a wonderful opportunity to make a lasting contribution to the success of a prominent Catholic organization. This project has also greatly prepared me for the work life after college.”  -David Binggeli

“Being a part of the Cantwell-Cleary team has been such an incredible learning experience. Working on our prompts introduced me to a fascinating world of business and commerce, and gave me essential insight into the inner-workings of an establishment. The work our team did for this project was taken into serious consideration by the company, giving our work purpose. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to work on this project, as well as Cantwell-Cleary for giving me this valuable experience.” -Anneliese Orr
