There is no shortage of keywords and catch phrases when it comes to describing the manufacturing industry. We’ve grown accustomed in the past to hearing the sector described as powerful, dynamic and the foundation of our economy.

Market forces such as currency valuations, verseas competition and the cost of labour are now putting heavy pressure on the manufacturing sector, deflecting focus away from the business at hand, which is production.
