Are local manufacturing relationships disappearing - or is it just me?
An engineer needs a custom part and defaults to a shop interstate or a vendor outside the U.S. based on a trade show connection. But there are local shops that could do this where fixing problems is a 30-minute drive away.
Seeing this from the shop side? I'm running a short survey (under 3 min) on how buyer-seller connections have changed - you can be anonymous, or I'll share the findings if you leave your details at the end of the survey: https://tally.so/r/VLoBVM
