We have produced the Gardner Business Index (GBI) since December 2011. And, ever since we started the index we have been asked, “How do I get access to the data?”

We are happy to announce that we now are offering subscriptions to the GBI data, including data back to December 2011. 

The GBI can be used to pinpoint trends in durable goods manufacturing by:

1. Process (e.g. metalworking, composites fabricating)

2. Industry (e.g. aerospace, medical)

3. Plant size (e.g. facilities with 1-19 or 20-49 employees)

4. Region (e.g. West, Southeast)

For more on the GBI, check out the information page here on our new website – www.gardnerintelligence.com.
