We sat down with Laurie Harbour with Wipfli to discuss:
• The real state of manufacturing — mixed signals in the market, uncertainty around tariffs, and pockets of strong growth across the industry.
• Margin compression and post-COVID cost pressures — why many manufacturers are seeing higher costs, softer revenues, and the importance of controlling what you can.
• Diversification strategies for suppliers — expanding into adjacent markets, rethinking sales strategies, and actively hunting for new opportunities.
• Cash flow as the lifeblood of manufacturing — why tracking and managing cash is more critical than ever for small and mid-sized suppliers.
