Even in ideal times, manufacturers have to adapt constantly to changing economic conditions, shifting demand from key customers and the constant drive to improve operations. It’s never easy, but 2022 was harder than many years because of supply chain constraints, rapidly rising interest rates, labor shortages and countless other challenges.
That wide range of challenges and opportunities was well reflected in our website traffic this year, with audience members reading stories about a massive variety of topics.
So, please enjoy this retrospective on stories that made an impact in 2022 as we look forward to 2023. We have lots of new initiatives, some staffing changes and planned stories that we hope will keep you visiting constantly in the new year.
