“The strength of American manufacturing going forward will depend on our ability to understand, predict, and then act on disruptions in our supply chains in real time.” Exiger's President Carrie (Wibben) Kaupp shared that perspective at today’s Axios Live conversation on Building America’s Manufacturing Edge. Manufacturers need visibility beneath the finished product: ownership structures, software dependencies, critical minerals, component-level exposure, and the choke points that determine whether production keeps moving. AI converts billions of disconnected data points into intelligence manufacturers can use to identify constraints, surface viable alternatives, and make the right sourcing decisions. The goal isn’t to identify every risk. It’s to give manufacturers the insights to act before disruption sets the terms.

Exiger announces new Strategic Advisor, U.S. Army (Ret.) Four-Star General Gus Perna. General Perna joins at a pivotal time as Exiger rolls out novel AI capabilities and experiences accelerated growth with recent multimillion engagements across federal agencies, the DIB, and private sector. "Readiness is defined long before missions start,” said General Perna. “It begins in supply chains, and it depends on actionable visibility into those supply chains to preempt disruption and accelerate the production needed across our defense industrial base and organic industrial base. Exiger has built the leading AI platform for supply chain readiness and optimization, giving our military, contractors, and federal agencies the visibility and intelligence they need to protect our nation's security today and tomorrow.” General Perna served as COO of Operation Warp Speed, where he oversaw the development and distribution of therapeutics for over 300 million people, and Commander of the U.S. Army Materiel Command, where he led 190,000 military, civilian, and contractor employees. At AMC, he managed Army’s readiness, training, execution, munitions supply chain, and contracting operations. He also commanded the Joint Munitions Command, leading major deployments. "General Perna joins Exiger at a critical moment for both our company and the future of supply chains,” said Exiger CEO Brandon Daniels. “His unparalleled leadership across military logistics, readiness, and national security will help us accelerate the next generation of AI capabilities to strengthen resilience, modernize operations, and secure the systems our nation depends on."

China policy is moving fast. Exiger’s Kit Conklin spoke with Bloomberg about why the Section 1260H list is becoming increasingly important as policymakers build new restrictions around it. What was once a watchlist is quickly becoming an operational and compliance issue for global companies. 📰 Read via Bloomberg: https://lnkd.in/dWYn2rAY

American manufacturing is reaching a critical inflection point.

This week Apple, Microsoft, and others raised prices. Tim Cook called it 'a 100-year flood': "There's less supply at a time when consumers want devices and memory guys are passing along huge price increases. We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That's the bottom line." Exiger had been flagging this ahead of the headlines. In May, Derek Lemke, Exiger SVP, told PC Gamer: "Best case is another 12 to 18 months of pain . . . worst case is we're going to see multi-year systematic disruption . . . a bifurcation of the global chip industry . . . but there's a recognition that the consumer can only bear so much." In March Exiger intelligence had already alerted on the supply constraints driving it — helium offline, sulphuric acid banned, semiconductor fab inputs squeezed from multiple directions with no near-term substitution. Our customers could see the constraints forming before the market did. The headlines are catching up. Our customers already knew. Act First with Exiger 🔮https://www.exiger.com/

Almost 1 year ago, we launched the first Exiger Executive Forum with a simple objective: bring together leaders to elevate the conversation around the forces reshaping global value chains. Over the course of the last year, the conversations have only become more urgent exploring: ‣ Supply Chain Sovereignty in a Fractured World: Winning the AI and Geopolitical Race for Resilience  ‣ Wartime Economics: How Wartime Economics Will Reshape Supply Chains  ‣False Security: The Illusion of Control in Modern-Day Value Chains  ‣ When Geopolitics Hits the P&L: Redesigning Supply Chains for Structural Conflict One common theme surfaces across all - resilience has evolved from a competitive advantage into a business requirement. As we approach the Forum’s first anniversary, our next Exiger Executive Forum will focus on Human Rights in the Supply Chain Join us as we examine one of the most important and complex challenges facing organisations today, and explore what responsible, resilient supply chains look like in practice. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the discussions, challenged conventional thinking and helped make the forum such a valuable exchange of ideas.
