Rising costs, labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, complex regulations, emerging AI technologies, and shifting trade and tariff dynamics are all industry shifts that are putting new pressure on manufacturing leaders. For companies ready to rethink how they operate, compete, and grow, transformative opportunities are everywhere. With the right advisor, it’s possible to connect today’s decisions to what comes next.
Rooted in the Midwest — the heart of American manufacturing — we’ve collaborated with manufacturing and distribution clients for over 100 years, spanning owner-managed businesses, global market leaders, and private equity firms. This industry-focused team is our firm’s largest practice, bringing insight shaped by industry training, active association involvement, proprietary market forecasts, and benchmarking data. That expertise extends to the national level: our national manufacturing and distribution practice leader serves on the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) board of directors.
For manufacturers with operations in Mexico, our on-the-ground advisors support cross-border priorities tied to supply chain coordination, production models, labor and trade compliance, and USMCA considerations. With local insight and broad advisory resources, we address the operational realities of global business.
