A manufacturer's most valuable assets rarely sit in a vault. They live in CAD files, chemical formulations, process parameters, supplier contracts, and tooling specifications that move every day between engineers, plants, partners, and contractors. That movement is what makes the business run, and it is also what makes trade secrets easy to lose. A departing engineer copies a design folder. A contractor forwards a spec sheet to a personal account.
