Manage episode 442096314 series 3415449
Between presidential election politics, declining orders in manufacturing and rate cuts, the economy has been unpredictable and difficult for most manufacturers in 2024. But, smaller companies have unique challenges and opportunities. Our panel of seasoned manufacturing CEOs from smaller companies discussed the importance of tracking the economy, difficulties they've had in hiring critical people (especially maintenance professionals) and the weirdness of the current market with some industries posting massive gains and others struggling to make ends meet.
Our panelists for this Sept. 19 live discussion were:
- Laura Putre, senior editor at IndustryWeek
- Jack Schron, CEO of Jergens Inc.
- Blair Haas, CEO of Bud Industries
