Auditors find money-saving opportunities for plastics manufacturers

Does your auditor consistently help you save money? Plante & Moran believes that a financial statement audit for a plastics manufacturer is not complete until it provides options to improve the company’s financial position.

When you engage our team for financial statement auditing services, you can expect more than routine compliance because we know about plastics and packaging companies. We advise more than 1,000 manufacturing companies and more than 200 of them specialize in plastics.

“Our experience with the Plante & Moran team has been consistently positive. Their people are knowledgeable, real-world professionals who give solid advice on business and industry-related issues impacting profitability.” Glenn Coate President Lakeside Plastics

Understanding the plastics industry

We will come to your financial statement audit knowing that productivity among plastics manufacturers is up, but so are price pressures and material costs. We know because we conduct the industry’s most in-depth benchmarking survey every year.
Our North American Plastics Study benchmarks profitability and performance in the plastics industry. During the financial statement auditing process, we will keep in mind the many challenges that the plastics manufacturers face, such as finding the right asset utilization rate and balancing receivables and inventory with net equipment costs at a favorable margin. We will draw on our background knowledge and experience to provide you meaningful recommendations.
