“Events like SOUTHTEC help to advance the manufacturing industry because they invite small- and medium-sized manufacturers to openly discuss their most pressing challenges, adding their voice to the broader dialogue around advanced technologies to increase the efficiency of traditional processes,” said Robert “Bob” Willig, executive director and CEO of SME. “Scaling these solutions to make them viable for all manufacturers - beyond just the large companies making big investments - is a driving force for advancement in our industry, since the majority of U.S. companies are those with fewer than 500 employees.”
