Franco Savoni walked into a business-networking program thinking small Tuesday. And he did it with no apologies.
To help advance business at Elkay, an Oak Brook-based sink and faucet manufacturer, Savoni is checking out the work and products of smaller companies.
“There’s so much innovation (at small companies) that’s going on close to home,” Savoni, Elkay’s water-cooler products director, said during a reception for The Innovators Connection, a Chicago Innovation Awards program that connects startup companies with larger businesses that need products or services.
