With the global shift in levers of competitive advantage, manufacturing industries have been moving from one part of the world to another. Over the years, entire industries such as automotive, chemicals, steel, textiles, and semiconductors have almost disappeared in some countries while flourishing in others. With the trend towards being “green”, western society tends to look down upon manufacturing and does not seem perturbed by the departure of such industries from the western shores. As long as prices are low, consumers do not mind where the products they buy come from. At the same time, the western world preaches to the newly industrializing nations about the importance of reducing emissions and greenhouse gases.
In the western world, Science and Technology have taken a back-seat to business, finance, political science etc., and fewer and fewer people want to major in fields such as engineering. Even after an engineering education, more and more people want to pursue careers in Consulting, Marketing, Finance, Private Equity, Venture Capital etc. Somehow, we have created the perception that technology and hence, manufacturing is an “inferior” career to pursue. A small island, a small city can thrive and flourish based on a service economy. However, it is not realistic to expect a country of tens of millions of people to do so.

We strive to retain/bring back manufacturing skills, technology and industries in the western world. We work with clients to have them take pride in manufacturing.
