Over the past three years, Australian mid-size manufacturers (MSMs) have experienced declining sales, tighter margins, rising employee costs, and as a consequence - declining profits. However, not all businesses have been impacted in the same way. 

Grant Thornton’s latest benchmarking report Manufacturing growth:  Benchmarks for Australian mid-size manufacturers demonstrates that several MSMs are bucking the trend. Despite difficult market conditions, these businesses point to a positive correlation between strategic investment and improved profitability.

Manufacturing growth: Benchmarks for Australian mid-size manufacturers is unique in its focus on MSMs – and the information captured is not otherwise available in the Australian marketplace. The full report addresses market and margin growth for MSMs, employee value, the bottom line, optimising operations and financing for growth – specifically, what they may mean for your operations.

If you would like further information on the study and a customised copy of the complete report, please contact Grant Thornton’s Manufacturing team via the details below who will arrange a time to discuss it with you.
