Many of our sales and other business activities were not significantly impacted thru the downturn and therefore our business plans remain largely unaffected in 2010. We will continue to focus our efforts on strategic international growth.
The large global footprint of our parent company allows us to grow or re-allocate resources and personnel on demand. This enables us to respond quickly to new manufacturing trends.
Will you be hiring or introducing new products?
We will be closely monitoring the Asian, European and American markets to ensure both new product and support requirements are meeting expectations.
We will ensure our customers continue to receive the high quality of products and service that they have come to expect from our team. We will also be introducing new and improved versions of both 3D X-Ray and AOI products and will continue to explore new markets for our inspection technologies.
What are your expectations for the industry in 2010?
Certainly some markets, including China, are recovering more rapidly than others, but in general we expect 2010 to show strengthening recovery as the year progresses.
New technology and close attention to controlling costs will be at the forefront of this recovery and therefore we believe that Nordson YESTECH is well positioned for the recovering market. In summary, we look forward to growth and continued success with all of our partners in 2010.

As a matter of fact, we see cautious optimism with almost all of our customer's forecasts. A very different and pleasant outlook from what we saw going into 2009. However, the business climate is tougher than ever. We can only hope that investors will allow companies to bolster their infrastructure and product portfolio ...
March 8, 2010 Mark Brawley, National Sales Manager Americas, DEK The actions needed to prepare for 2010, and the much anticipated upturn, were taken in 2009. These included improving lines of communication with customers and channel responsiveness. Experience shows that agility is essential in an upturn. Manufacturers tend to ramp up faster than they scaled down, and they typically want even greater value. Which is why we also took the initiative to invest in our core printer platforms ...
March 5, 2010 Daniel F. Baldwin, Ph.D., Founder, Engent 2010 promises to be a strong year with respect to next generation packaging solutions for small form factor electronics systems as a result of prior years development efforts.

March 4, 2010 Scott Wischoffer, Marketing Manager, Fuji America Corporation The first few months of the New Year will be slower than we'd like but much better than it has been. Consumer confidence in the economy is still very negative and the high unemployment rate has most everyone afraid to spend money keeping any manufacturing expansion to the minimum. Machine sales will increase but production capacity will not. New capital equipment purchases will be mainly niche markets, equipment ...
