In this audio recording from the Dec. 21 edition of IndustryWeek's bi-weekly Production Pulse livestream, editors from several publications took a look back at 2023 and the stories that drove the news last year and offered some opinions on what to expect in 2024.
Sibling publications also owned by IndustryWeek parent company Endeavor Business Media offer unique insights on what manufacturers in different specialty markets have in common, and what's different.
The panel included:
- Karen Langhauser, chief content director for Pharma Manufacturing
- Lynne Sherwin, managing editor of Plastics Machinery & Manufacturing
- Jon Katz, executive editor of Chemical Processing
- Anna Townsend, manager editor of Plant Services and Control Design
- Robert Schoenberger, editor-in-chief, IndustryWeek
Please enjoy this recording of the discussion in which we established that some issues such as increased regulatory scrutiny and more trouble finding qualified workers are common throughout manufacturing, others are very specific to niches within the industrial world.
