AN ARTICLE A DAY, PICKED BY OUR EDITORS

What comes to mind when you think of tech companies? In recent years, companies in Silicon Valley have dominated headlines—and for good reason: they are among the best performing stocks of the past decade. But there is a another type of tech company that’s going largely unseen, creating millions of high-quality jobs and driving innovation across the US. These are industrial-technology companies, which could be redefining the future of US manufacturing. While most are not household names, these companies have seen an 11 to 15 percent return on invested capital over the past decade, rivaling that of Silicon Valley’s top performers. To find out more, read this article by Kimberly Borden, David Ebenstein, Inga Maurer, and Asutosh Padhi and be sure to preorder the forthcoming book The Titanium Economy: How Industrial Technology Can Create a Better, Faster, Stronger America by McKinsey’s Asutosh Padhi and his coauthors Gaurav Batra and Nick Santhanam.
