Politics, whether we like them or not, weigh heavy on manufacturing’s future.
In case you haven’t heard, it is an election year! Which means, global trade, regulations, immigration, national security and taxation will all be part of the national discourse, and all of those topics touch on manufacturing in one way or another.
During this podcast, we will share a discussion courtesy of our sister brand, IndustryWeek, as part of their livestream program, Production Pulse. The broadcast features insights from Pharma Manufacturing’s chief content director Karen Langhauser as well as from editors on Machine Design and Food Processing.
