Britain trying to follow in footsteps of U.S. manufacturing industry

As the United States manufacturing industry continues to improve, other nations are beginning to take notice. In fact, the U.S. is now being looked at by some as a role model, and countries are trying to make changes to align with America in efforts to further their own manufacturing growth.

Britain is one such country, and a recent Telegraph article explained the European nation's attempts to follow in America's footsteps. The news source said that the U.S. rebound in manufacturing is due in large part to the nation's shift in trade terms and enlightened policy decisions on energy.

"But while the US manufacturing boom wasn't planned, Britain needs to learn the lessons from it – and urgently reform taxes, regulations, energy policy and transport links to make sure we too can start growing," the article said. "The potential prize is huge."

Specifically, the news source explained that the number of manufacturing jobs in the U.S. is up 4.4 percent since 2010, and that higher growth rates are seen in states that specialize in certain manufacturing areas.

Glass manufacturer moves location to Indiana

One state that continues to lead the U.S. in its manufacturing sector is Indiana. This blog has previously discussed the Hoosier state's strength in the industry, and it is further proven with another company announcing that it is planning to build an office there.

SCHOTT Gemtron Corporation announced in a press release that it had moved part of its production process to Vincennes, Indiana because it needed to keep pace with increased demand for its display and freezer glass doors, door frames, shelving, and POLARIS LED lighting.

Regardless of a company's location, keeping pace with an evolving industry is important, and having comprehensive software business solutions can ensure that the nation's positive growth continues.
