As a business owner I have to say I am looking for good things to happen in 2012. The overall industry should continue to improve although slower than we would like. I do believe, however, we are headed in the right direction. An expected decrease in military spending is a concern but growth on the commercial side should more than make up for it.
For STI, 2012 is the opportunity to continue to build on the foundation we have been putting in place for the past 29 years. We are better prepared than ever to provide our customers with solutions in design, manufacturing, and training. We continue to strive to be a partner on multiple levels through a customer's manufacturing cycle.
STI will be adding new products and services as well as one or more new quality certifications in the coming year. We have some exciting expansion plans for 2012 that will be announced at appropriate times and on December 3, 2012, STI will celebrate its 30th year in business.
