Plante & Moran PLLC has launched its 2013 North American Plastics Industry Study.
The annual survey asks plastics processors in the United States, Canada and Mexico to share results in sales and marketing, financial performance, human resources and operations. Widely viewed as the most in-depth benchmarking survey in the industry, the North American Plastics Industry Study has been drawing connections between performance and profitability since 1995.
The survey focuses on companies across several plastics processes, including injection molding, blow molding, thermoforming, compression, and extrusion.
Companies that participate before Aug. 31 will receive a free tailored benchmarking report in September that will allow them to compare their business performance to their industry peers.
Processors can download the survey at plastics.plantemoran.com.
