Trends You Need to Know About Processing and Manufacturing

Hello! My name is Marlo, and in my gap year, I worked at a tile cutting facility. There, I learned all about tiles, but in particular, that experience piqued my interest in processing and manufacturing. Through the years, I have read countless industry journals, web articles and much more. Now, I want to share all of that knowledge here with you. Currently, I run my own consulting company. I have an amazing husband, two bubbly and charming kids, and a menagerie of pets (including two hound dogs, a pot-bellied pig, three laying hens, two turtles, and a gecko).
