BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA
Strategy and operations consulting in Birmingham.
Birmingham grew on iron and steel and now rests on UAB's medical center, banking and insurance headquarters, engineering and construction firms, and pipe, metals and auto-supplier manufacturing.
THE LOCAL ECONOMY
What drives business in Birmingham.
The University of Alabama at Birmingham and UAB Medicine are the region's largest employer and a major research center. Regions Financial, Protective Life, Encompass Health and contractor Brasfield & Gorrie keep headquarters here. Pipe and foundry makers such as McWane and American Cast Iron Pipe carry on the metals tradition, and the Mercedes-Benz plant in Vance, along with Honda and Hyundai plants elsewhere in Alabama, supports auto-parts suppliers.

WHAT COMPANIES HERE FACE
The decisions in front of Birmingham management teams.
Many mid-market companies here are family-owned industrial, construction and distribution businesses facing succession. Auto-parts suppliers follow production plans at the Mercedes, Honda and Hyundai plants and must absorb tariff and EV program changes. Costs are lower than in Atlanta or Nashville, but competing with those metros for engineers and managers remains a challenge.
