Our Peer Groups are a structured and ongoing forum, consisting of a small, select group of individuals who meet regularly to share experiences and knowledge. Members are carefully selected based on experience, expertise, and compatibility with the group.
The focus of our Peer Groups is on professional development, problem-solving, benchmarking, and improved performance. Our goal is to create a supportive, collaborative environment where members can help one another grow and succeed.
Our Peer Groups offer:

- Behind-the-scenes tours: Each member has an opportunity to host the group at their facility, showcase their operations, and receive constructive feedback.

- Intentional Networking: Build meaningful relationships with other manufacturing professionals across South Central PA to increase your network and create new opportunities.
