摘要

While 2005 may have provided some relief for North American moldmakers,don't expect that relief to continue into the New Year.Jerry Lirette,former president of the Madison Heights,Mich.-based DME Company,a manufacturer of mold tooling and components,said the moldmaking industry bounced back a bit in 2005.But the bounce occurred only because moldmakers severely cut back on staff,and global competition left fewer domestic competitors to deal with.
