There was an interesting post at Small Business Trends yesterday on Small Business Manufacturing. They were quoting a report from the National Association of Manufacturers that showed that the small and medium sized manufacturers are in fact doing very well. Much better comparatively speaking than the large manufacturers.
It was also noted that small US manufacturers run their businesses in a surprisingly sophisticated manner. The part that got my attention was the point about technology, and the fact that many small manufacturers use technology for a competitive edge. This is really how we have grown Lightning Labels. My background is in technology, and my partner Steve Smith has over 30 years of experience working in the technology industry. We use technology in our internal systems, our marketing, our management systems - in fact every aspect of our business.
If you have some time download and read "The Future Success of Small and Medium Manufacturers" (PDF, 62 pages).
