KEY TAKEAWAYS
A factory tour gives an intimate behind the scenes look into a company so that visitors can learn how products are crafted, the history of the company and how they prepare operations for the future.
Understanding the technology and craftsmanship of products helps designers build an allegiance to a particular brand.
Taking the time to learn about new brands can open up opportunities and inspiration for design projects.
