Kline’s market analysis approach places the principal emphasis on primary research techniques to ensure that the foundation of business intelligence and insight is accurate, current, and reliable. During the course of field research, Kline’s professional staff of industry experts from the Energy practice will conduct in-depth discussions and personal interviews with a wide range of knowledgeable industry participants and opinion leaders, including metalworking fluid manufacturers and marketers, additive and basestock manufacturers, blenders, trade associations, and other industry experts on the supply side. Demand-side primary research will focus on interviews with equipment operators on the shop floor, operations and plant managers, purchasing managers, and others who have a direct influence on what brand and supplier gets the business and why they keep it or lose it.
