There’s undoubtedly a lot facing the manufacturing industry (tariffs, digitization, and sustainability to name a few). In this lineup, we’ll touch on all of them and more as we look at a bigger question: What is the future of manufacturing? The answer, naturally, isn’t so straightforward. For some sectors, it means reshoring and heavy investments in a domestic supply chain. Others are more worried about what technology the factory floor will have as opposed to where it’s located and still more are focused on how that production is handled in terms of waste and circularity. No matter what camp you fall in, this one’s for you.
