Global Recruiters of West Bend

Just wanted to share with you a tool we've been working with recently called Mapline. Mapline has helped us visualize data for our private equity clients looking at MSO territories. This visual mapping tool enables precise visualization of geographic data, which allows me to identify key market segments, spot gaps in service coverage, and make informed decisions to find underserved areas. By overlaying demographic information and sales data, I can effectively segment the market to target specific consumer groups with tailored marketing strategies. Working closely with my private equity partner, we’ve turned our attention to the residential services sector—a space ripe for growth. By diving deep into market trends and analyzing consumer behavior, we can pinpoint high-potential investment opportunities and craft detailed strategies to seize them. Our combined efforts not only secure a robust market presence but also drive enduring, sustainable growth in the fiercely competitive southeastern landscape. #mapline #privateequity #research #residentialservices

How will manufacturers in Wisconsin (or elsewhere) respond to tariffs? (comment below) Navigating New Tariffs: Strategies for Wisconsin Manufacturers As new tariffs on steel and aluminum imports take effect this month, Wisconsin manufacturers face significant challenges. These tariffs are expected to drive up costs, impacting everything from operations to pricing strategies. However, our resilient manufacturing sector is poised to adapt and thrive by leveraging several key strategies: 1. Addressing Talent Gaps: The labor market remains tight, with many manufacturers struggling to find and retain skilled workers. This challenge is compounded by the impending retirements of key leadership, owners, and skilled positions. It is estimated that approximately 11.8% of the manufacturing workforce, including leaders and owners, will retire in the next three years. Companies like Harley-Davidson Motor Company and Briggs & Stratton are partnering with local technical colleges and offering competitive benefits to attract top talent. Other companies like C&N Manufacturing are investing in workforce development and lean training. 2. Enhancing Operations Management: Operational efficiency is more critical than ever. Rockwell Automation and Processed Metals Innovators, Inc. (PMI) are adopting advanced technologies and lean strategies to streamline processes and improve productivity. 3. Strengthening Supply Chains: Supply chain resilience is crucial in the face of new tariffs. Oshkosh Corporation and Stoughton Trailers, LLC are optimizing their supply chains by reducing lead times, improving quality, and enhancing collaboration with suppliers. 4. Implementing Strategic Pricing: With increased production costs, manufacturers must revisit their pricing strategies. Kohler Co. and Palermo Villa, Inc. are analyzing market trends and customer demand to adjust prices strategically, maintaining profitability while staying competitive. 5. Lean Manufacturing Initiatives: Lean manufacturing principles are being embraced to eliminate waste and improve efficiency. Johnson Controls and C&N Manufacturing focus on continuous improvement and sustainability. 6. Adapting for Contract Manufacturers: Contract manufacturers, who often operate on thin margins, will need to be particularly agile in response to the new tariffs. Plexus Corp. and Hydrite Chemical Co. are renegotiating contracts, diversifying their supplier base, and investing in advanced manufacturing technologies.
