Grassi Launches Manufacturing & Distribution Technology Survey on Investment Priorities and Business Value
New York, NY – Grassi, a leading provider of advisory, tax, and accounting services to the manufacturing and distribution (M&D) industry, has announced the launch of its 2026 Manufacturing & Distribution Technology Survey. The survey invites owners, executives, and senior leaders to share their perspectives on the value their technology investments are delivering today, their readiness to execute on those investments, and their priorities for the next 18 months.
Manufacturers continue to increase technology spending, yet many organizations remain uncertain about return on investment and whether their data, systems, and workforce can support new technologies. Grassi’s M&D Technology Survey will provide date of where manufacturers are investing today, how those priorities are evolving, and the business outcomes those investments are delivering today.

Survey responses will be analyzed and compiled into a benchmarking report assessing technology investment priorities, maturity, and readiness, and how technology investments are translating into margin improvement, operational efficiency, and resilience to risk in an evolving operating environment.
With decades of experience advising manufacturing and distribution companies across a wide range of industries and ownership structures, Grassi brings a deep, practical understanding of the challenges manufacturers face in aligning technology investments with business objectives.
“Technology only delivers value when it drives better decisions, operational resilience, and workforce effectiveness,” said Robert E. Grote, Partner and Manufacturing & Distribution Practice Leader at Grassi. “This survey helps identify where technology is working, where gaps remain, and how manufacturers are prioritizing investments to support long‑term performance.”
Manufacturing and distribution professionals are encouraged to participate in the short survey by June 5. Participants will receive a summary of key findings highlighting trends, challenges, and priorities shaping technology decision‑making across the industry.
