About Manufacturing International

Manufacturing International (MfgInternational.com) was launched in 2024 to address a long-standing gap in the manufacturing ecosystem: small and mid-sized manufacturers face the same complexity as global enterprises, yet are often under-served by tools, insights, and unbiased guidance.

The platform is owned and operated by Russell’s Group, an independent business and digital media company founded in 2004 with more than two decades of experience supporting manufacturers and industrial organizations.

Manufacturing International represents the evolution of that experience into a dedicated, modern platform built specifically for today’s SMB manufacturers.

Our Mission

At Manufacturing International, our mission is to empower manufacturers to confidently navigate today’s rapidly changing landscape with expert-driven resources, practical tools, and trusted insights.

We exist to serve as a reliable, independent hub where manufacturers can access:

• Actionable intelligence

• Experienced perspectives

• Vetted tools and solutions

• Real-world guidance grounded in industry experience

Built on Decades of Manufacturing Experience

For more than 20 years, Russell’s Group has worked with hundreds of companies, including global manufacturers and extensive dealer networks, as well as small and mid-sized manufacturing businesses across the United States and globally..

This experience revealed a consistent pattern: manufacturers needed a centralized, unbiased platform built around how manufacturing actually works — operationally, digitally, and strategically.

Manufacturing International was created to meet that need.

Everything we publish is informed by real-world application, not theory, and shaped by the challenges manufacturers face every day — from supply chain volatility and workforce constraints to technology adoption and global market pressures.

Manufacturing International is purpose-built for small and mid-sized manufacturing companies (SMB), typically ranging from $100K to $200M in annual revenue.

Whether you are:

• Scaling operations

• Entering new markets

• Optimizing internal efficiency

• Evaluating tools, suppliers, or partners

Our platform is designed around your size, your complexity, and your decision-making reality.
