    Exit Planning for Manufacturing Leaders and How to Protect Your Legacy w/ Amy Julian and Bryan Graiff

    For so many owners of midsized B2B manufacturing organizations, their companies are like children to them. For years (or often decades) they've nurtured them and watched them grow. And inevitably, the time comes to prepare for an exit from the business. It's an overwhelming prospect with so much to consider. Amy Julian and Bryan Graiff of Armanino are here to talk about all of those factors, including the following: – When to start planning – How to identify the value drivers (and value eroders) – Defining the roles of your team for after your exit – Tax considerations – Which types of advisors to recruit as your guides – How to evaluate different types of buyers (and their motivations) – What to expect on the other side of your exit – And more

    Obstacles to Quickly Reshoring American Manufacturing w/ Rylan Pyciak

    With the reshoring of American manufacturing all over the headlines during this first half of 2025, the question from inside the industrial sector seems to be, "How are we supposed to make that happen on such an fast timeline?" In today's conversation, Founder and President of Cleveland Automation, Rylan Pyciak, will talk about some of the obstacles in our manufacturing infrastructure that will inevitably slow us down – from production of raw materials to a complex, internationally dependent supply chain to availability of labor. As the leader of an automation business, he'll also talk about where automation fits into the picture and what else we can do to prepare accordingly.

    Defunding of the MEPs and How YOU Can Help Stop It: A Special Episode

    Last week I was approached by some of my manufacturing leader friends about a panel they just recorded on the MakingChips podcast about a critical issue that's likely familiar to many of you by now. And that is: Defunding of the MEPs or Manufacturing Extension Partnerships. In case you're not familiar, the MEPSs are public-private partnerships that exist in every state throughout the US. These organizations exist to help small manufacturers with everything from securing grants for training and upskilling to lean manufacturing to ERP implementation to cyber security and more. Now – despite all the talk from our current administration about bolstering the American manufacturing sector, 10 MEPs had already been defunded at the time of this recording. And plans for this to continue are looming in the weeks and months ahead. Here's the problem: For the US manufacturing to grow, we NEED our small manufacturers who represent such an overwhelmingly large percentage of our manufacturing economy to thrive. And we need to support them more right now than ever before. I've been asked to syndicate this conversation to bring attention to the issue with THIS audience of The Manufacturing Executive, in hopes of activating YOU to speak up and to take action. So in this panel, you'll hear from five manufacturing leaders – most of which you'll likely recognize. They'll get you up to speed and most importantly, they'll tell you what YOU can do to help: – Paul Van Metre of ProShop ERP – Nick Goellner of Advanced Machine & Engineering and MakingChips – Meaghan Ziemba of Mavens of Manufacturing – Mike Payne of Hill Manufacturing and MakingChips – Jim Mayer of The Manufacturing Connector
