In the first episode of this brand new monthly series, co-hosts Philip Stoten and Marco Annunziata are joined by CEOs Bruno Racault of ALL Circuits and Rainer Koppitz of KATEK Group to explore the potential for a European manufacturing renaissance. Trade wars, the pandemic, and now supply chain disruptions around semiconductor lead times have all led brands to reconsider their supply chain in terms of resilience, security and agility. Many are exploring re-shoring production from Asia, while others are looking to a China plus one strategy. Along with their hosts, Bruno and Rainer explore the opportunities, the changing role of outsourced manufacturing, the need for a better descriptor than EMS, talent shortages, automation, the role of government, ecosystem partnerships, new supply chain solutions and much more. This really is an hour packed with insight from a very knowledgeable panel.
For at least two decades Mexico has been growing in importance as a manufacturing geography and this year, courtesy of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been brought into even sharper focus as more brands look for alternatives to manufacturing in China. In this inaugural episode of a new monthly show, "MADE IN MEXICO", I talk to Jalisco's Minister for Economic Development Ernesto Sanchez Proal to explore the regions success, his recent experiences and his expectation for the future. Ernesto explains some of the strategies his government has in place to attract the right investment and development to Mexico and specifically to Jalisco, a state with a large density of EMS companies and, of course, Tequila.This podcast was made possible thanks to the sponsorship of SMarTsol (https://www.smartsol.mx), Koh Yong (https://www.kohyoung.com) and Repstronics (https://www.repstronics.com).

2019's big disruption was the trade war between China and the US, in 2020 it was COVID-19, and now in 2021 the biggest challenge facing the manufacturing industry is supply chain shortages.
