MPMA Pulse Survey
Powered by Wipfli
The MPMA Manufacturing Pulse Survey provides key trends and data critical for setting future business strategies for North American manufacturers. On a quarterly basis, the Wipfli team collects and analyzes data from more than 300 manufacturing facilities (both MPMA members and others outside of power transmission).
The study results, and a coordinating webinar are shared only with participants of the survey.
