CEO Randy Carr’s 2025 Insights Featured in National Publications
World Emblem CEO Randy Carr is getting the media and industry’s attention with his insights for 2025. Randy was featured prominently in both IIOT World and the Network Association of Uniform Manufacturers and Distributors addressing the top trends he feels will shape the manufacturing sector in 2025.
Among the top areas of most impact to the manufacturing sector in 2025, Mr. Carr cites the following:
Nearshoring Will Become Essential
In 2025, nearshoring will be a primary strategy for midsize manufacturers aiming for faster turnaround times, better quality control, and cost savings. Nearshoring will improve production agility and strengthen supply chain resilience for U.S. companies, significantly reducing lead times and transportation costs.
AI Will Drive Customization and Efficiency
AI-driven customization is the next major innovation, and it is set to reshape the manufacturing sector in 2025. AI will enhance predictive maintenance, quality control, and inventory forecasting, optimizing the entire manufacturing flow. Manufacturers that integrate AI will see reduced waste, cost savings, and improved customer satisfaction—key competitive factors in a market that demands customization and quick turnaround times.
Sustainability Will Shift from a Buzzword to a Core Business Requirement
In 2025, sustainability will become a fundamental expectation from customers and regulators alike. Companies will face more mandates for eco-friendly materials and waste reduction, especially in sectors with large-scale production. Adopting sustainable practices will no longer be a choice; it will be necessary to stay competitive.
