Summary
On this episode of Sound Policy, we explore the evolving risks and challenges facing manufacturers today and discuss what resilience looks like in a rapidly changing environment. From supply chain disruptions and aging infrastructure to automation, workforce shifts, and fire risk, manufacturers are navigating increasing complexity while remaining essential to the global economy. To understand what is driving loss and how manufacturers can better protect their operations, we spoke with James Gieger , New York operations manager at FM. James shares insights from working with manufacturers of all sizes, why people remain at the center of resilience, and how better planning and risk engineering can help businesses stay operational and support their communities. We also discussed FM Essential, an insurance product designed to support a broader group of manufacturing companies seeking to strengthen their resilience.
