It’s time for the Reuters Manufacturing Summit:

Chicago – CEOs and other executives in the manufacturing industry will visit the Reuters bureaus in Chicago to participate in the annual Reuters Manufacturing Summit on February 25-28. During closed on-the-record sessions, summit speakers will discuss the outlook for the manufacturing sector. Exclusive stories from the summit will be posted online at www.reuters.com/summits.

U.S. manufacturing companies, traditionally a cyclical group given to dramatic ups and downs depending on the health of the economy, have made great strides since the last recession to reduce their dependence on cyclical markets — by expanding overseas, investing in new technology, and making their operations more efficient. The current U.S. economic slowdown provides their first major test of how well this strategy has worked.

Reuters will interview a group of manufacturing sector CEOs to give their views on whether sales and profit growth is sustainable, as well as on raw material and labor costs, the role of emerging markets like India and China, the election-year political climate, and their view on the U.S. economy.

Expect to see these and other topics in a package of stories, pictures and videos produced at the Reuters Manufacturing Summit during each summit which can be seen at: http://www.reuters.com/summit/Manufacturing08
