Post Pandemic Innovation Boom

A nice read, proud of our teams for the “Gritt” that has been invested this year to get things done!

Great article Philip Stoten, nice words Mark Wood. Thanks to all our customers and supply partners for all the support.

Excerpt from the Linkedin post is below.

Mark Wood, CEO of Microart Services:

“I am going to go with yes and yes, to an extent. First of all, COVID also exposed the adaptability, resilience and sheer desire to get things done in the manufacturing industry. I could not be more proud of how our team stepped up and did what had to be done to get essential products out and to provide continuity to our customers. It also exposed some issues with those over extended supply chains with too great a dependence on Asia and in particular China. We’ve seen many customers and prospects respond to this, exploring the possibility and value of sourcing closer to home, and closer to their customer. I think we’ll see more.

Regarding digital transformation, our journey started long ago and continues at a pace. COVID has shown the value of real-time data, particularly for parts availability, so while we continue to digitally transform the factory floor it is essential to do the same with business processes, like procurement and inventory management.

The twenties has been an innovation boom from the start and I expect more. We love the creativity of our customers and appreciate the chance to help them turn their light bulb moments into reliable products that consumers can use. Let’s face it, we’ve all had to be extra creative this year, it’s in our DNA, so let’s leverage that creativity for good and get some great life improving technology out there.”
