Editorial Summary

What’s driving external manufacturing today, and what will drive it in the near future? It’s no longer just about lowering costs. Today, contract manufacturers (CM) and contract packaging (CP) providers are all about building faster, smarter, and more resilient operations. And as their brand partners push for speed, flexibility, and visibility, CM/CPs are rethinking how they can deliver value in this rapidly evolving landscape.

This e-book will feature expert insights and real-world examples of interest to both external manufacturer service providers and the brands they work with. It will explore three of the main forces reshaping the present and future of external manufacturing, namely:

How are digital transformation and automation tools, such as advanced software, connected platforms, and robotics, redefining productivity while helping address labor challenges?
How can external manufacturers expand flexibility by offering end-to-end services (labeling, coding, kitting, etc.) to brands to not only win new contracts but to also become true extensions of brand operations?
Sustainability trends are not limited to CPGs. How are trends like right-size boxing, more energy-efficient machines, and material innovations changing the game for CM/CPs?
