Stabilizing Margins Amid Rising Costs and Uncertainty

Manufacturing remains a cornerstone of Virginia’s economy, but the current environment is putting sustained pressure on margins. While energy costs are a major concern, they're only part of a broader cost challenge.

In this session, ERA Group and the Virginia Manufacturers Association will discuss how manufacturers are taking a more comprehensive approach to protecting margin, looking beyond energy to areas like freight, packaging, supplier agreements, MRO, and other operational spend.

Using real examples, we’ll walk through how these opportunities are identified, prioritized, and delivered—often quickly and without disrupting operations.

This webinar and Q&A is focused on practical ways manufacturers can strengthen cost discipline, improve resilience, and protect profitability in a volatile environment.
