Manufacturing is one of the world’s most globalised industries, as businesses undertake a chain of import and export activities that are dependent on each other. With strict deadlines to meet final production and to protect revenue, there is pressure on overseas transfers to be made quickly and cost-effectively. 

How currency exchange can affect the manufacturing industry

A number of manufacturing businesses now either outsource all or at least part of their production overseas. This therefore means their profits are greatly influenced by the foreign exchange landscape.

Costs such as factory leasing abroad, paying overseas workers and importing materials are all subject to exchange rates and can all affect your cash flow if not managed effectively. 

For larger manufacturers who choose the UK as their production hub, a drop in the value of the pound against other major currencies could mean their product is worth significantly less worldwide. While the market can be volatile, the good news is that most of these market changes can be avoided with the right foreign exchange strategy.
