2015 could be a very good year for electronic manufacturing in North America. The industry metrics are very strong for both 2015 and 2016; potentially as good as the growth numbers in the mid to late 1990's.

My companies each had great years in 2014 and our projections for growth for the upcoming year looks even stronger. We are seeing numerous on-shoring along with expansion in Mexico.

Technology is continuously evolving and there are numerous consumer products being developed. We are seeing "Wearable Technology" and many of the R&D projects are local.

Many of these products will eventually end up manufactured in lower wage markets, but the beta products are being built in N. America.
