Letter to the Editor

As a member of PMA and a stamping professional of 20 years, I find the need to congratulate you on your March 2010 editorial, specifically the “idea killers” paragraph. As my company emerges from the recession I find it challenging to reorient my management team to think strategically and long term. After spending 2009 in cutback mode, where maintaining a profitable balance sheet was paramount, I struggle to switch gears into growth mode to fully take advantage of future opportunities.

Thank you for effectively encapsulating this problem so directly.
