The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

Inventor Gary Byers’ popular Big Bobber Floating Cooler http://www.creativesalescompany.com/ helped keep his manufacturing facility afloat during depressed times.

Today, the success of the novelty cooler, and nearly two-dozen of Byers’ other unique inventions, may serve as a bellwether for a rebounding manufacturing sector.

During a recent tour of the Columbia Falls manufacturing plant, U.S. Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., said Byers’ innovation and niche marketing is helping the inventor cash in on a nationwide trend while providing local jobs by producing the products on site.
