`
`Struggling to get his fledgling business off the ground, Myron
`Ennest turned to a Bay City company that specializes in
`bringing new products to market.
`McKinley Technology Inc., 106 S. Walnut St., has worked
`since the early 1990s to turn promising technical ideas and
`inventions into money-making businesses.
`
`"We commercialize new technologies. That means not just
`marketing, but taking it to a point where it's making a profit,"
`said Mark McKinley, president and CEO of McKinley
`Technology.
`
`The goal is to create companies that have a revenue stream
`for investors or allow them to profit on exit through merger or
`sale.

`
`Mark McKinley asks his wife, Karen, her
`opinion of a dog leash they hope to
`distribute as Mark Kochevar, right, adds
`to the conversation.
`
`Mark McKinley learned the ropes of successful business marketing while working for Dow Chemical
`Co. to promote super-absorbent materials widely used in items such as diapers. Today, he's helping
`people such as Ennest, a Saginaw insurance agent who owns the patent to a new type of locking
`rope clamp.
`
`Ennest said even though he had modest success selling the clamps for use in military tents and
`orders were growing, he found it difficult to keep the business going.
`
`"I outgrew myself. I was using my own money and I'd never ventured into finding investors and
`putting it all together," Ennest said. "You need money for accountants, attorneys and other things.
`For an individual, it's a nightmare."
`
`Ennest took his product and his ideas to McKinley about a year and a half ago.
`
`Together, they formed a new company called Clamp Tech LLC. In
`exchange for a partnership interest and some shares in the new
`company, McKinley helps Ennest with legal issues, patent searches,
`financial planning, marketing and lining up investors.
`Clamp Tech President Stacy Pastein works as a contract partner for
`McKinley Technology. The former Dow Corning Corp. marketing and sales
`manager said the business plan at McKinley is different than a traditional
`incubator.
`
`"An incubator lets companies come in and gives them a place to stay,"
`Pastein said. "We actually go in and operate the company."
`
`Clamp Tech is working to secure more military contracts and to get its

`
`product in retail hardware and outdoor stores, Pastein said. The clamps,
`along with a new Toughman Tie-Down clamp-and-cable product, can secure parked aircraft, boats
`and marine buoys and may have uses for other items such as animal leashes, Ennest said.
`
`McKinley said the clamp exemplifies the type of promising technology his company is best able to
`foster.
`
`"We look for legitimate ideas with some promise. We're real fussy about what we pick and choose,"
`he said.
`
`Another company McKinley is marketing is Bordener Engineered Surfaces, which produces a
`laminate material that looks like granite or Corian, but costs less.
`
`McKinley, 49, who grew up in Royal Oak and Saginaw, formed the company in 1991 with the help of
`Mark Kochevar, whose background is in financial management. Their company chose Bay City to set
`up business because it's between the metro Detroit area and northern Michigan's outdoor
`recreation opportunities.
`
`Clifford Van Dyke, president of the Bay County Growth Alliance, called McKinley Technology a bright
`spot for the area's economy as it seeks new high-tech business prospects.
`
`"I think it's interesting that Bay City has an enterprise that's trying to help inventors," Van Dyke
`said. "We're trying to get something started in this city and we have a pretty unique business
`trying to do that."
