Dear David, 

Happy Holidays to all our customers, and future customers.  This is a wonderful time of year and one of my favorites.

Things may be rough right now, but that isn't permanent.  It is only a matter of time before things pick up again and the companies that survive the down turn will be stronger and better for it.  The work is going to be there and the companies that survived will more efficient and have less competition.

Bad news is all too common, but it isn't all bad.  Here are three recent articles with good news for all of us.

  1. PWB demand exceeds supply. - PWB sales are down from last year (no surprise), but current demand exceeds supply suggesting sales growth over the next two to six months.
  2. Component Sales Climbing - the Electronic Components Association predicts a continued climb in both monthly and 12-month averages for component sales.  Even better for each of us, "Components are considered a leading indicator of end-product demand.
  3. Americas Lead Semiconductor Rebound - Americas were up 14.1% year over year.  "...sales are reflecting the improved economic conditions in our world markets."

Good times will come again and we can all be ready.

As always, we look forward to your participation and feedback as you gain new insights and become a more effective provider of Electronic Manufacturing Services.

Sincerely,

David Sharp
