Last year, we launched the inaugural Manufacturing Insights Survey to gain a deeper understanding of the goals, challenges, and needs impacting Michigan's small and midsize manufacturers. Your responses helped shape the resources and services we provide and our collaboration with key partners across the state, all working together to strengthen Michigan manufacturing.

This year, we are back with a streamlined survey to help us gauge what's happening across our industry. We hope you will participate again so we can continue to serve and empower small and midsize manufacturers throughout Michigan.
