Mirror Manufacturers May Not Like What They See in the Mirror, But They're Adapting

摘要

The North American mirror market continues to be a difficult place in which to operate. Foreign competition (primarily from China) grows stiffer and domestic markets continue to shrink. When the producers in this market segment look in the mirror, metaphorically speaking, it's not a pretty sight they see. Drew Mayberry, president and chief executive officer of Lenoir Mirror Co. in Lenoir, N.C., says he does not think the demand for mirror in North America has declined. He says it is steady, and with home building being strong, it actually may have gone up some. However, he adds, "The amount of that market being served by domestic producers has declined and it continues to decline."
