“Only now did I recognize the reciprocal relationship which exits between manufacturing power and the national system of transportation, and that the one can never develop to its fullest without the other.”
Friedrich List
“The balance of power has permanently shifted (from manufacturers to retailers).”
Wesley Moultrie
“It's tempting to say these are terrible jobs, but the service sector has more wage pricing power than the manufacturing sector. If you're getting a pay increase from your boss today, it's probably not in manufacturing.”
Anthony Chan
“Instead of wood, metal and print, we're now talking in three major areas: manufacturing, communications, and power and transportation.”
Lynn Crawford
“One manufacturer isn't the same as another. Someone who manufactures medical supplies may be different than a general manufacturer.”
Andrew Kaplan
“Linux provides mobile device manufacturers with a powerful platform and unmatched inter-operability, to deliver new capabilities in advanced handsets. In much the same way that the OSDL Carrier Grade Linux working group helped accelerate Linux adoption in telecommunications network infrastructure, we believe that MLI will create the ideal forum where device manufacturers, network operators and developers can focus specifically on Linux and open source applications, to move mobile handsets to the next level of functionality and profitability.”
Stuart Cohen
“Government must not burden automotive manufacturing in the UK off the European map. Manufacturers must have the confidence to develop their operations and government must help us meet the competitiveness challenge. That means a light regulatory touch and an integrated approach to regulation in environmental and transport policy.”
