We Need to Stop Playing Catch-Up

摘要

I didn't make it to this year's Fakuma. But as 1 read MikeIPs report about the new developments in injection molding (it is mostly a molding show), it got me thinking about last year's show, which I did attend. And we all remember that it was around last October when we saw the first telltale signs of how rough 2009 was going to be. In fact, by fall of '08 the downturn was well under way in Germany.
