Plastics Manufacturers – Tennessee

Like many industries over the past few years, plastics companies in Tennessee have faced several challenges while taking advantage of multiple opportunities.

For many plastic molding manufacturers, time is spent on minimizing unplanned downtime, managing material costs, addressing the skilled worker shortage and controlling process variations. One of the most significant issues facing the plastics industry is inflation. Not only is inflation driving up the cost of supplies, including resin, but it has sharply increased the cost of capital and reduced borrowing options.

Throw in external factors such as the pressure to re-shore, which requires additional investments in labor, equipment, and processes, and it’s clear your growth trajectory may look different this year.

When facing times of uncertainty, plastics manufacturers in Tennessee must manage the variables they can control. Your relationship with your accounting firm is one of those factors.  Working with a certified public accounting (CPA) firm with the relevant technical expertise and experience in your industry will allow you to navigate tax liabilities, right-size your finance department’s structure with outsourcing and automation and present a solid financial picture for audit requirements and overall management decisions.
