Shortages of raw materials, supplies and equipment shortages are also creating headaches for the woodworking industry, according to a recent survey of past Executive Briefing Conference attendees and FDMC 300 company executives. A significant portion of EBC’s curriculum will be devoted to supply chain issues during the two-and-a-half-day event September 8-10 in Colorado Springs.
One of the highlights of EBC 2021 will be a session dedicated to the woodworking industry supply chain. A team of industry manufacturers, suppliers and specialists will address the current situation and what the future holds for the supply chain in woodworking. The panel, which represents a wide swath of the industry, will be moderated by FDMC’s Editorial Director, Will Sampson. Members of the panel include: Tom O’Neill, Executive Vice President of the Wurth Group; Criswell Davis, President, Mighty Oaks Consulting; Tim Dunn, President, Specified Components; Scott Prillaman, Senior Vice President, U.S. Operations, Hooker Furniture; and Isaiah Rozek, Founder and President of Paragon Concepts, LLC.
