TR Cutler, Inc. was founded by Thomas R. Cutler almost a decade ago. Cutler maintains extraordinary relationships with clients, journalists, editors, trendsetters, and key business leaders worldwide and has become a key resource for those writing about the manufacturing sector.
Cutler founded the Manufacturing Media Consortium in the 90's. This extraordinary group of more than 3000 journalists worldwide is writing about trends, data, case studies, profiles, and features in the manufacturing and industrial sector. Cutler has worked with thousands of media outlets to expand manufacturing media coverage.

Cutler has authored more than 2,000 articles for a wide range of manufacturing periodicals, industrial publications, and business journals including most of the leading monthly trade publications.
Cutler established a Manufacturing Marketing Research division dedicated to measuring the pulse of the manufacturing sector, particularly manufacturing firms which are privately held and rarely accounted for when gauging the industry sentiment.

Ranked as the leading manufacturing journalist worldwide and an editor for more than 300 publications, TR Cutler, Inc. President & CEO Thomas R. Cutler, (www.trcutlerinc.com) recently profiled the perception of personnel placement firms in the plastics manufacturing sector in Plastics Business magazine. According to Cutler, “Belonging to industry organizations is not everything when it comes to plastics manufacturing placement firms. However, very few of the organizations proclaiming industry expertise have a thorough understanding of the needs of manufacturers. Belonging to organizations such as NAM (National Association of Manufacturers), American Production and Inventory Control Society (APICS), Association for Manufacturing Excellence (AME), and National Tooling & Machining Association (NTMA) indicate a commitment to understanding and participating in the manufacturing sector.

A comprehensive investigation of more than one hundred personnel placement firms revealed that nearly all claimed to have expertise in the manufacturing sector; ninety-one percent (91 percent) of those surveyed said they were somewhat or very knowledgeable about the needs of manufacturers. Plastics manufacturers’ feedback did not corroborate this self-perception. Of the nearly 200 plastics manufacturers surveyed who have used personnel placement firms in the past year, more than half (52 percent) reported dissatisfaction with personnel placement firms because the temporary or permanent staffing offered was under-qualified, poorly screened, or unable to provide immediate productivity.
