This morning, I had the pleasure of delivering the Keynote at the American Manufacturing Summit, and to meet and chat with stewards of the industry who are dedicated to rethinking manufacturing leadership. I always start with my philosophy of leading BIC: we strive to honor the past so we can invent the future. Throughout the years, we have driven agility and speed to market through technical excellence, building trust, and ensuring quality. We have innovated to meet consumer needs and established consistency, reliability, and value. We have challenged everything except the consumer! It's clear that in an ever-changing world, resilience and know-how are a true competitive advantage. And it never stops. Our sustainability efforts must evolve to meet the modern challenges within our environment; our use of technology must constantly adapt to meet the advancements of our times. I’d be remiss to not thank our BIC team members around the world and acknowledge the communities we serve and operate in. And a special thanks to my fellow speakers for sharing their experiences and insights. #AmericanManufacturingSummit #BIC #LeadershipPhilosophy #BestPractices #AIinnovation #Sustainability

“It's clear that in an ever-changing world, resilience and know-how are a true competitive advantage. And it never stops. Our sustainability efforts must evolve to meet the modern challenges within our environment; our use of technology must constantly adapt to meet the advancements of our times.” We also try to keep up with the above at #IntercommFoods . It is a must for all and dead critical for the food industry which needs to tackle challenges like earth and soil protection, water savings , food waste, climate change , power, labor and so many more!

Thanks to the BG Strategic Advisor team and fellow executives for a great week in Palm Beach! It was a delight to meet insightful business leaders and discuss trends and opportunities in transportation. It was a "cherry on top" that the Ferrari classic event was going on just at the same time! Giving another meaning to "transportation" :) #BusinessLeaders #TransportationTrends #TransportationOpportunities #FerrariClassic #ExecutiveNetworking #LeadershipInsights #BusinessStrategy #bgsa

** TOP TEN MANUFACTURING INSIGHTS** We don’t have to be THE leader in smart manufacturing. We just have to be A leader and it will have a profound impact on our region.

The Manufacturing Leaders’ Summit in Liverpool, #mfgleaders, is a hub of innovation and elite networking, and we genuinely appreciate the opportunity to be part of this event right on our doorstep. Many of our clients and industry partners are attending and supporting this event and with 250+ industry leaders, it features insightful keynotes, panel Q&As, and thought-provoking roundtable discussions on the challenges facing fellow manufacturers. We are very much looking forward to using this unique platform over the next two days for sharing best practices, solving common problems, and informing strategies for sustainable growth.   #HosokawaMicronLimited #mfgleaders #Mfgsummit #UKMfg #Engineering #Manufacturing #Liverpool #MechanicalEngineering #Manufacturing #ProcessEngineering #UkManufacturing #ProcessEngineering #ManufacturingInnovation #IndustryLeadership"

One cannot excel against external competition if there is unhealthy competition within individuals or teams. At Gestamp , we are one voice. Yes, just one voice. Does this mean we don't fight, argue, disagree, or have differences of opinion? Not at all! We do all of that. So, what do we do differently? We have a concept called the 'War Room Meeting,' where the leadership team meets every day at 10 AM. Here, we openly raise and address interdepartmental concerns. When we leave that meeting, we do so with one voice and a unified goal to serve our customers.
