Manufacturing Matters in Canada

Top Five Challenges

1. Labour shortages (skilled and unskilled) 2. Greater competition in primary markets 3. Finding new customers and business partners 4. Cost of labour 5. Cost of regulation !!

New Business Imperatives• What the recession taught us: Business as usual is not an option • Need to find new business opportunities in new markets in Canada and

around the world • In a high cost economy, competitive advantage for Canadian businesses

is based on our ability to differentiate ourselves from low-cost competition by providing a premium solution to customers – through agility, innovation, design, customization, & service

• New business opportunities are best leveraged by being at the forefront of product, process, and technology innovation

• Partnerships help to reduce risk, combine strengths, optimize opportunities for new product and market development !
