Positive Signs Everywhere
- as EI Goes ‘Lean and
Green’
Dear Friends and Customers:
Everywhere we look,
there are signs of the beginnings
of a recovery for the electronics
manufacturing industry in the U.
S.
and globally.
Although
attendance was down at the recent Chicago area trade
shows, Assembly Tech and IPC Midwest, this is less
indicative of a decline in the industry and more a case of
companies being frugal with their monies as they look
ahead to a more promising 2010.
Marketing strategies are
evolving, in many ways impacting trade shows negatively.
But on the positive side, new technologies, consumer and
industrial demands, and shrinking inventories of electronic
devices - including replacement cycles - are driving an
uptick in business and we re seeing it here at EI with
increasing orders for custom PCBs and especially our
thermal management and metal core PCB products.
On
top of that, the way companies do business is changing
too.
