Throwback Thursday: Growth Strategies for the U.S. Moldmaker

Some things never change. Like competition. There will always be competition, and let's face it, it's a great motivator to continuous improvement. What I've also noticed is that the ways to face the competition haven't changed all that much either. This reminded me of a four-part article series that MoldMaking Technology published back in 2001 on growth strategies for the U.S. moldmaker that is still relevant today.

Some things never change. Like competition. There will always be competition, and let's face it, it's a great motivator to continuous improvement. What I've also noticed is that the ways to face the competition haven't changed all that much either. This reminded me of a four-part article series that MoldMaking Technology published back in 2000 on growth strategies for the U.S. moldmaker that is still relevant today.

The series includes a look at the competitive conditions in the plastics tooling industry 16 years ago; what some companies were doing to grow their businesses amidst challenging conditions;  how integrating rapidly-changing technologies can serve as a means of differentiating your shop from competitors, but alone does not ensure a company's security; and, how to formulate a strategy in order to position your company during challenging times.

Take some time to revisit this series by Glenn Starkey of Progressive Components.
