Why the Manufacturing M&A Landscape is Changing
The manufacturing sector in the U.S. is undergoing a transformation:
Reshoring initiatives: Companies are moving production back to the U.S. due to disruptions in overseas supply chains and advancements in industrial automation.
Automation-driven growth: New technology reduces dependency on labor, allowing for cost-efficient production in “lights-out” facilities.
Private equity interest: Investors are increasingly funding domestic manufacturing companies due to rising demand for U.S.-based products.
These changes make now an opportune time to sell or acquire manufacturing companies.
