Lucidyne Technologies has been moving quickly to meet the new demands from lumber manufacturers.Lucidyne was able to maintain a steady position the last few years while the economy was poor. The company made several tough changes to become increasingly efficient but was still able to retain its entire engineering staff. Thanks to a strong focus onproviding good service with its products, some of Lucidyne's customers still kept the company busy with challenging projects.
