Paint & Adhesive

 

Some potential points to spur discussion:

  • Social capital is an important location factor for establishments in paint and adhesive manufacturing. Social capital appears to play a significant role in supporting local manufacturing, presumably through more social networking, social cohesion, and knowledge transfers.
  • Manufacturing industries seem to benefit from agglomeration, that is, locating in areas with higher shares of employment in manufacturing.
