The manufacturing sector remains a critical driver of the global economy – providing goods, innovation, jobs, and economic resilience. As the industry continues to navigate global tariffs, shifting supply chains, rising labor costs, and increasing automation, middle market manufacturers are balancing long-term investment with day-to-day operational agility
