Area Four Industries Group Navigates Industry Challenges
The Area Four Industries Group, a leading player in the truss and supporting structure market, has been making waves since its inception in 2012. The group, which includes brands like Milos, Litec, Tomcat, James Thomas Engineering, EXE Technology, Mobiltechlifts, Xstage, and Xtruss, underwent its first merger in 2012, followed by another in 2014. These mergers have resulted in an optimized and redefined structure, enabling the company to offer its customers access to the world's largest range of trusses, supporting structures, peripheral products, and related services.
One of the key events on Area Four Industries' calendar is the Prolight + Sound exhibition. This annual event provides the company with an opportunity to reach a significant audience in just four days, a task that would normally take six months to achieve. The exhibition also offers potential customers a convenient way of seeing and touching the products, as well as speaking with the sales team. Area Four Industries plans to continue its participation at Prolight + Sound as long as booth space and related services remain cost-effective.
However, the truss manufacturing industry is not without its challenges. In the near future, manufacturers like Area Four Industries are expected to face labour shortages and skills gaps, material supply constraints and cost volatility, increasing demand and order backlogs, a shift towards prefabrication and offsite construction, and sustainability pressures.
To address these challenges, Area Four Industries, like other manufacturers, is implementing strategic changes. These include adopting prefabrication and offsite construction methods, tailoring products and solutions to specific project needs, investing in workforce training and development, managing supply chain risks proactively, and focusing on sustainable material sourcing and production practices.
The industry is thus navigating a complex environment of labour shortages, material supply challenges, rising costs, and evolving construction trends, with a strategic pivot towards prefabrication, customer-focused solutions, and sustainability to maintain productivity and meet demand. Area Four Industries, with its robust structure and strategic approach, is well-positioned to weather these challenges and continue its growth trajectory.
