What Manufacturing Owners Need to Know to Prepare for a Successful Transition

Failure to adequately plan for transition is a significant risk to manufacturing companies. About half of business ownership transitions are reported to be involuntary, due to death, divorce, disability, or some other unanticipated factor.
