MAPP advocates for the crucial role of data in the success of plastics processors. As an Association, MAPP is thrilled about the ongoing evolution of its benchmarking offerings through a partnership with Harbour Results, Inc. resulting in the creation of a distinctive tool: MAPP Plastics Benchmarking.
Through this collaboration, MAPP members gain access to an annual study covering a diverse array of topics such as financials, business performance, operations, safety, HR, sales and marketing and forecasting.
