Making Informed Choices About Where to Build and Grow Manufacturing Operations

1 Juli 2025: At the April 2025 edition of the North American Manufacturing Excellence Summit series Executive Platform’s head of Content and Research Geoff Micks sat down with Johan Beukema of BCI Global to have a conversation about site selection and footprint optimization in a world where these decisions are always important, but recent events are bringing them into sharper focus than ever.

In this episode Geoff and Johan talk about which questions are always important, and also what is new and changing in this space. What do senior executives need to know when they make decisions about where their businesses are going to operate? What does good advice look like, and how do you get a well-rounded, multi-faceted understanding of all the factors and variables you need to make an informed decision? For all this and more, give this episode of Thought Leaders Series a listen!
