02/11/2026 | Pete Starkey, I-Connect007Aix-en-Provence (pronounced “ex-ahn-pro-vonse”), a historic city and commune in the south of France, about 20 miles north of Marseille, was the pleasant venue for EIPC’s Winter Conference in early February.

Global Sourcing Spotlight: The New Landscape of Manufacturing
02/11/2026 | Bob Duke -- Column: Global Sourcing SpotlightFor decades, manufacturing followed a familiar pattern: design in the West, production in China, and distribution elsewhere. That map no longer works. The shocks of the past five years—the pandemic shutdowns, trade wars, logistics meltdowns, and geopolitical uncertainty—have redrawn the boundaries of global manufacturing. The question every OEM is asking isn’t “How cheap can we make it”? but “How certain are we that we can obtain it?” We are witnessing a seismic shift in the landscape of making things. The work hasn’t disappeared; it’s just moving.
It’s Only Common Sense: Control Your Market With Your Actions
02/09/2026 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseMost companies don’t want to admit that their low sales mean their stories got stale. They’ll blame the economy, their competitors, the election cycle, or “industry headwinds,” when what really happened is much simpler: They stopped saying anything worth hearing. Customers stopped noticing because most companies sound exactly the same. You could have the most advanced product in your category, but if you describe it like everyone else, you’ve already lost. Nobody buys “high quality,” “fast turnaround,” or “excellent service” anymore. Those slogans are expected table stakes, not selling points.
