Strategy & Corporate Development Council

Join senior strategy and corporate development officers from mid- to large-cap global manufacturing companies to share best practices, benchmark, and network with peers.

"The corporate development group is a great resource of peers who go the extra mile to help each other out. It’s my go-to for a sense on how other manufacturing companies are approaching deal-related issues as well as a good forum for benchmarking our practices against the wider market. I never leave a meeting without bringing back at least one great idea I put into practice when I get back!"

— Dara Mitchell , SVP, Corporate Development, Kadant Inc.
