"Momentum Matters: Meeting Industry Challenges Head-on" is the theme of the 25th Michigan Automotive Suppliers Symposium in Grand Rapids on March 7. This annual gathering of industry leaders, business owners, c-suite executives, managers and key decision-makers from all tiers of the automotive sector is set to deliver crucial insights on today’s auto industry. This premier automotive supplier symposium has established itself as a cornerstone in the industry, offering a platform for networking, learning and staying on top of the latest industry forecasts, issues and trends.
Warner Partner Thomas Manganello will participate on the event’s supplier panel to discuss how Michigan’s Tier 1 suppliers are handling the industry's constant disruptions. In addition to discussion on overcoming evolving supply chain challenges, the group will also offer insights on navigating the impacts of recent industry issues including labor strikes, price increases, volume volatility, CAPEX and the evolution to electric vehicles.
Manganello, who co-chairs Warner’s Automotive Industry Group, is a sought-after speaker who frequently participates in national automotive policy conferences. He founded MICHauto in 2007 to encourage the historically siloed auto industry into a more collaborative partnership dedicated to promoting and growing the manufacturing sector in Michigan.
