MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT 
Over the past several years, Mega has steadily increased the international portion of its business - from around 5-15% more than 10 years ago to 50+% today. One of the traditional limitations to this type of growth for a business like ours has been transportation expense for our products - particularly overseas freight. The landed cost of our product (product price + shipping expenses) can approach double our ex-works price for some destinations. Our solution has been to adapt our business model to suit the circumstance - specifically to partner with fabricators and dealers in other locations to manufacture portions of our product locally. For the volume of our business in these regions, this makes for a good alternative to creating our own operation. In this month's newsletter, you will see announcements of our two latest accomplishments in our pursuit of this strategy - a licensee agreement with Bard/Jaws in Australia and a partnership with Caterpillar/Premier in India. These folks we have partnered with, as in the past, are the best in the business in their regions - they have capabilities equal to or better than our own and are well respected by the OEM dealers and customers in their areas. The addition of partners in India and Australia really opens the door to increased presence in Australasia - our last frontier if you will. We have successfully employed this strategy in the Americas and EAME with Petricio Industrial in Chile, Gecolsa in Colombia, GT in the UK and Efficient Engineering in South Africa. Our business would not be the same today without these partnerships and we are confident our business and our customers will benefit from these new additions to the Mega family. Thank you for Thinking of Mega!
