Manufacturing has experienced a renaissance of sorts over the past decade and the growth potential for investors and the C-suite is gargantuan in terms of both scope and opportunity.

announced plans to invest $10 billion to construct

Wisconsin.1 The article points out that it’s no surprise
that low unemployment rates, skills deficits and an
evolving corporate outlook on the industry helped
create an environment where this investment
was possible. And many other manufacturing
organizations are following suit.
