Manufacturing leaders are entering a new phase of supply chain transformation, where growth is increasingly determined by how quickly and intelligently organisations can respond to change. 

Global building materials manufacturer Mapei has commenced construction on a new $60 million manufacturing facility in Truganina, Melbourne, in a move the company says will significantly expand its Australian production capacity and strengthen its role in supporting major infrastructure projects.

Manufacturers are facing an increasingly volatile environment, where rapid changes in demand, supply chain disruptions, and continued cost pressures are transforming the way products are planned, made, and delivered.
