Manufacturing 

 

 

“Manufacturers are now feeling the pinch from the eurozone crisis and have started adjusting their business models to focus on core business. A decrease in export demand has slowed growth but what manufacturers need to focus on is maintaining a sound balance sheet and improving cash & working capital.

 
The months ahead will see peaks and troughs in demand and output but manufacturers are investing in long-term growth through innovation, partnerships and markets outside of the eurozone for top and bottom-line growth.”
