We are are excited to share the insightful findings from the third edition of our State of Manufacturing in the Pacific Northwest survey that we produced in conjunction with Aldrich CPAs + Advisors. Having conducted similar surveys in 2018 and 2021, we’ve maintained a steady observation of the fluctuations affecting the manufacturing sector, allowing us to bring you up-to-date reports so you can understand and overcome the challenges while capitalizing on the opportunities.
We recognize that sentiments in the industry are shifting daily, influenced by global trends, economic shifts, and regulatory developments. It’s important to note that this survey was conducted prior to the current administration’s recent actions. While the findings offer a strong foundation for understanding the state of manufacturing today, we also acknowledge the dynamics of our industry and how rapidly things continue to change.
Our objective remains the same—to spotlight the most pressing concerns within the industry, be it healthcare and employee benefits costs, inflation, talent retention and acquisition, shifting regulations, technological advancements, or the incorporation of AI. These survey results are a way to bring this community together and hear valuable perspectives on how manufacturers across our region are tackling shared issues.
We’re incredibly grateful to all participants who took the time to share their concerns, inspirations, and hopes. We trust these findings will be as invaluable and inspiring to you as they are to us.
We’re proud to be part of this vibrant manufacturing community in our region.
