Hear from F4SS member and board chair Tom Kent on why F4SS events are so beneficial! "What makes F4SS unlike any other collaborative organization is its focus on the connection between FMCGs and their External Manufacturing Partners. This industry is growing rapidly, creating some exciting opportunities for both customer and supplier. Through the F4SS organization and the Connect events in particular, I can benchmark my External Supply Chain processes and outcomes with those of my peers, while incorporating the input of the External Manufacturing base. At each event, the mix of speakers, roundtable discussions, and networking events always leave me with new ideas and opportunities to pursue. I have yet to find anything more relevant to me and my role in Kimberly-Clark." See how F4SS and Fall Connect can impact your external manufacturing business .
