BUFFALO, NEW YORK
Strategy and operations consulting in Buffalo.
Buffalo–Niagara combines healthcare, banking, advanced manufacturing and cross-border trade with Canada, with M&T Bank's headquarters downtown and the Peace Bridge and Lewiston-Queenston crossings carrying freight to Ontario.
THE LOCAL ECONOMY
What drives business in Buffalo.
Kaleida Health, Catholic Health and Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center make healthcare a leading employer, and M&T Bank and other financial firms fill downtown offices. Manufacturing remains important, from GM's Tonawanda engine plant to aerospace controls, specialty metals, food and chemicals, and the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus has drawn research and startups. Trade with Ontario shapes logistics and retail, leaving the region exposed to U.S.-Canada tariff disputes and border-crossing changes.

WHAT COMPANIES HERE FACE
The decisions in front of Buffalo management teams.
Manufacturers and distributors here sell heavily into Canada and face tariff swings, exchange-rate shifts and border delays. Lower costs than downstate New York help, but state labor rules, taxes and energy prices still weigh on margins. An older workforce and many owners near retirement make succession a common issue.
