Making a Future for Your Business
Our nation’s manufacturers face several unique challenges. Evolving technologies and processes require companies to make significant capital investments in equipment and training to stay competitive. Competition from offshore producers intensifies every day. And the intricacies of cost analysis require in-depth services that many firms can’t offer.
In addition to those risks and challenges, manufacturers must also address:
- Small per-item margins requiring accurate cost controls
- Significant lead times exposing manufacturers to commodity risk
- The need for accurate forecasting of sales and material needs to control costs
- A labor force that costs more to acquire and train than in most other industries
- Operational exposures tied to equipment breakdowns, property damage, fleet use, and employee safety
- Significant activity in manufacturing M&A, with strategic buyers and private equity firms targeting lower middle-market manufacturers for scale
