Scattered throughout the US are manufacturers and fabricators who are doing some incredible things. It's Spohn's job to find the best of the best, and bring them to the Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky markets.

Within a matter of weeks, what we know as "normal" business conduct has been uprooted. In-person transactions are almost entirely suspended, meaning companies who depend on direct interaction must find new ways to contribute to the marketplace.

• Total internet hits have increased between 50-70% according to preliminary figures (Forbes)
• Number of minutes spent on news sites has increased 46% compared to last year (comScore)
• Staying home can lead to almost 60% increase in the amount of content viewed (Nielsen)

How do YOU see the industry changing?

Things are undoubtedly changing and Spohn is working on adapting... in the best ways possible.
