Part of the reason for this decline is that manufacturers worldwide are dealing with numerous issues - increasingly prescriptive legislation, customer migration to Asia and the challenges of building a successful infrastructure to sustain and improve manufacturing. In recognition of these issues, PLASA (Professional Lighting and Sound Association) has established a Manufacturers Forum to allow the organization to better understand the issues faced by its members. An initial meeting will take place in central London on Tuesday 2 August and all 250 manufacturing members have been invited to attend.
The future plan is to create an active network of PLASA manufacturers to advance this sector's manufacturing industries. The regular meetings will be backed by an online discussion forum so that all PLASA members worldwide have an opportunity to be part of the ongoing dialogue.
