A snapshot of today’s industry from the small and midsize manufacturers driving Michigan forward

In fall 2025, we launched our inaugural Manufacturing Insights Survey to track real manufacturer feedback on industry trends, strengths, challenges, and opportunities. This report is the culmination of this initiative and analyzes comprehensive responses from small and midsize manufacturers across our state. Whether you are shaping policy, leading a company, providing crucial resources, or advocating for Michigan manufacturers, we hope this report offers a valuable glimpse into our industry’s current and future landscape. Thank you for joining us in creating a stronger, more resilient manufacturing industry in Michigan!
