Manufacturing & Distribution

Manufacturers, light industry, fabricators, assemblers, wholesalers and distributors make up one-sixth of the total U.S. economy. These industries face significant marketplace challenges – tough issues such as increasing competition, rising labor and input costs, shrinking profit margins, process improvement demands, changes in industry standards and regulations.
