from Manufacturing Insiders

Chris Wingate is the Vice President of Maxivolt, an American manufacturer of surge protectors for industrial applications.

This strategy helps them navigate supply chain disruptions while protecting their customers' expensive equipment from costly electrical failures. Chris shares how they built strong customer relationships through superior service and implemented systems that improved both profitability and employee retention.Want to join the supply chain?
