A taste of things to come
          It could hardly have been a worse 6 months to miss. So much to summarize. 
Here's what I plan to talk about over the next while.
Direct influences on the Metalstamping industry
Larger economic indirect influences
          
		
 
  Here's what I plan to talk about over the next while.
Direct influences on the Metalstamping industry
- Raw material pricing
 - Raw material availability
 - Lowered demand
 - The changing face of labor
 
Larger economic indirect influences
- The bailout: If you’re in the automotive supply chain, what’s it all mean?
 - The bailout: If you’re not, what does that mean?
 - Recession/depression/inflation?

				 				Hello Michael,
Sounds great, looking forward to your views and insights into the stamping industry!
One question I have is whether you plan on discussing the impact of safety issues such as the CSA Z142-02 in Canada and the ANSI B11.2 & B11.2 in the US?
Cheers

				 				Hi Jeff:
No, I hadn't considered discussing it. At least not in my quick review of the last 6 months activities. The original requirement was 2002, the new one isn't out yet.
I do have a small amount of first-hand knowledge in this area, but from a peek at your web site, you likely know more about that area than I do.
In any case, the immediate answer is no, not in the next week or two while I'm doing the 6 month review. After that, maybe. And maybe you can contribute to our collective knowledge.
