Keynotes of Manufacturing Technology Series weigh in on post-COVID-19 challenges faced by SMMs

This autumn, SME and AMT-The Association for Manufacturing Technology are producing four key events: HOUSTEX, EASTEC, SOUTHTEC and WESTEC. All are part the Manufacturing Technology Series, and each will feature three keynote speakers offering information and perspectives pertinent to manufacturers in general, but of particular use to small and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs). Each speaker was interviewed by SME Media to get a heads-up on the issues they will address. The Post-Pandemic Economy Economist Chris Kuehl is managing director of Armada Corporate Intelligence, Lawrence, Kan., and chief economist for the Fabricators and Manufacturers Association. He will outline current and long-term economic trends that will affect the supply chain in various industries as the world emerges from COVID-19.
