The industrials and manufacturing small and medium size businesses are not your garden variety corporate giants. They tend to still be involved in transforming raw materials or components into finished products, but they don't have the advantage of a scale. They often face challenging working capital and capex requirements and rely more heavily on labor to deliver on their products to customers. They also tend to be the ones to drive innovation, try out inventions and adopt new technologies. FTERA consultants stand by to work through some of their strategic and operational dilemmas together.
