About Us

At Manufacturing in Focus, we delve into the heart of the manufacturing industry, exploring the diverse processes, technologies, and innovations that drive the sector forward. Our magazine is dedicated to showcasing the success stories of manufacturers who are leading the way in efficiency, productivity, and sustainability. From time-honoured industry stalwarts to cutting-edge tech-driven enterprises, we highlight the people and practices that are shaping the future of manufacturing.

Our coverage includes interviews with key figures in the manufacturing world—CEOs, engineers, and production managers—who share their experiences and strategies for navigating today’s complex landscape, and we also speak with leading industry associations, trade bodies, and policymakers to bring you a comprehensive view of the forces shaping the sector. By examining the technological advancements that are revolutionizing production lines such as automation, robotics, and additive manufacturing, we offer a window into how manufacturers are optimizing operations and driving innovation, and keep you informed and inspired by their stories.

Our Values

Integrity

At FMG, our editorial team is kept deliberately independent from the sales side to ensure journalistic integrity, and we are thus able to draw on different voices and perspectives. “We have independent journalists so that our readers have engaging articles that speak to them,” Jeff explains. “We hire people from all over the world because we want different, diverse perspectives.”

Empowerment

At FMG Publishing, Inc., “every voice in the company matters,” as Founder Jeff Hocken says. With an open and supportive leadership approach, employees are empowered to share their ideas and everyone’s contributions are valued. The result is a team made up of people who are passionate about what they do, who are interested in the world around them, and who can’t wait to share your story.

Leadership

FMG is firmly committed to celebrating the best in business, and this includes shining a spotlight on Economic Development Organizations, Associations, Unions, and Conventions in the sectors we represent. We value the thought leadership that comes with the responsibility of running these organizations and want to ensure our magazines speak to the issues that are most relevant.

Accountability

With a business model that has always supported remote communication, FMG has been green from the start. We aim to highlight organizations, initiatives, and technologies that are doing their part for the environment, and FMG walks the walk. We work to minimize our carbon footprint in all areas as we grow, focusing on digital subscriber growth and reducing our environmental impact not only by using less paper and ink, but by dramatically reducing the environmental cost of logistics involved in distribution.

COULDN’T HAVE ASKED FOR AN EASIER PROCESS

“We have worked with FMG twice now on two articles for our organizational expansions that were featured in Business in Focus and Manufacturing in Focus Magazines. I had the pleasure of working with [FMG] who were very comprehensive in their work. They gathered all the needed information for the articles without imposing on too much of our time. The team organized quick, but effective, calls and kept us updated on all the different steps. We couldn’t have asked for an easier process and group to work with. Providing photographs for the articles was as easy as emailing them to the production team.”

We greatly appreciate the feedback and interest they showed, as well as the opportunity to review the article prior to publishing to ensure it is “on message” for us.

We encourage any company wishing to further their marketing efforts and showcase advanced manufacturing in Canada to reach out to them directly for potential engagement.”
