SCRANTON, PENNSYLVANIA
Strategy and operations consulting in Scranton.
Northeastern Pennsylvania's Scranton–Wilkes-Barre region, a former anthracite coal area now driven by distribution centers, health care, Army depot and munitions work, and insurance.
THE LOCAL ECONOMY
What drives business in Scranton.
A location a few hours' drive from New York, Philadelphia and much of the Northeast has made the region a large warehousing corridor along I-81, I-80 and the Turnpike's Northeast Extension. Defense is a distinctive anchor: Tobyhanna Army Depot maintains communications and electronics systems, the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant produces artillery shell bodies, and Lockheed Martin runs a missile systems plant in Archbald. Geisinger operates hospitals in Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, Berkshire Hathaway GUARD Insurance is based in Wilkes-Barre, and Benco Dental distributes dental supplies from Pittston.

WHAT COMPANIES HERE FACE
The decisions in front of Scranton management teams.
Distribution centers compete for the same hourly workforce, and wage pressure has spread to manufacturers and health care employers. Defense suppliers are adding capacity to meet higher demand for munitions and electronics maintenance, but must plan for contract timing and possible demand reversals. Many family-owned businesses founded in the region's manufacturing era are now weighing succession.
