The strong presence of manufacturing has allowed the workforce of Crossett to diversify skills and provide ready solutions to local manufactures with strong local support industries.  These local support industries allow manufactures to focus on what they do best, and leave the maintenance and supply business to companies specializing in keeping the assembly line humming.
