Charlotte NC Contract Manufacturing and Packaging

As a manufacturer in North Carolina, despite all of the advantages that the State has over it’s neighbors and peers, productivity is likely your biggest ally. Without productivity gains, you are sure to lose to your competitors. And that’s not something that you, your shareholders and your employees would want!

So, what can you do to ensure that your manufacturing business stays competitive, and at the same time continues to deliver high-quality products and services to your customers?

The one answer is to explore a productive relationship with contract manufacturing firms like Productiv… and here’s why:

• As a manufacturer, you have lots on your plate, including making sure you have your fingers on the pulse of your market, and that you are constantly innovating so you don’t become irrelevant to your clients. The best way to maintain focus on those important priorities, and not get distracted by day-to-day challenges like staffing and plant scheduling, is to outsource some/all of your production to contract manufacturers
• When you have in-house labour challenges, whether it be a shortage of workers or not being able to source the right mix of skills, your productivity will suffer: Your clients will immediately react! They could potentially take their business to a competitor. With a contract manufacturer working with you, you’ll never have to worry about those routine issues anymore!
• Sometimes, market forces act against you, compelling you to add more costs than you’d anticipated to your overheads – without being able to pass them on to your clients. When that happens, your margins suffer. The best way to cushion your margins is to work with a contract manufacturing company. Because they work on fixed cost contracts, your margins will always be stable – even if your contractor is forced to incur additional expenses to deliver you the products/services you contracted
• Often, it’s best to “stick to your knitting” and do what you do best. One cost-effective way to do that is to maintain critical production functions in-house, while outsourcing other ancillary processes to specialist contract manufacturing companies

At the end of the day, you have a business to run, and the more productive you are with how you allocate your time and capital, the more competitive you will be. Contract manufacturing companies, like Productiv, help you leverage high-quality, specialized services and resources, to give you a competitive edge over your competitors.
