Two industry experts, former WQA President Sam Karge of A.O. Smith and WQA Director Sean Caughron of Chester Paul Company, unpack the Water Quality Association’s Manufacturer Confidence Report in the latest episode of the WQA Podcast.
The benchmark survey reflects cautious optimism among water treatment manufacturers. Podcast host Wes Bleed discusses with the industry veterans what the confidence score means, how capital expenditure trends reveal a strong push toward innovation and efficiency, and what could very well be the single greatest challenge facing manufacturers today.
WQA members can download the full report. The survey will be repeated twice a year and the report updated to show historical trends. Caughron will lead a discussion on the report during the Manufacturer/Suppliers section meeting at the Mid-Year Leadership Conference, Sept, 16-18, in Rosemont, Illinois.
