Greetings!
Thanks to the mainstream media, we are continually
bombarded with doom and gloom news - especially
when it comes to the topic of the state of the economy
and the manufacturing industry in particular. So, it
helps to be reminded of the positive - like the many
strong companies that are proud to call America
home, including these 10 industrial
icons.
"When the going gets tough, the tough get
going" may
have become a cliché, but that's just what
manufacturers need to do in this economic downturn.
Gut reaction for many businesses is to sit and wait,
cut back, and often let go of staff while running with the
bare necessities. Contrary to the intuition, industry
experts have discovered that these times are better
than ever to position yourself for growth and
strengthen your business.
At the same time, tool makers should always strive to
optimize their processes and do
more with less
in order to survive the downturn and be better
prepared for the future.
These moldmakers
have taken creative steps using conventional tools
with new, unconventional processes to cut
delivery times.
From a strategic point of view, it is important to
diversify your customer base and look for new
markets to service. The renewables industry is a
promising and growing market for die makers to
consider.
See why.
Enjoy the issue,
Lisa Sterling
