How is business in your territory and how do you see the market performing in 2011? The Pacific Northwest is suffering from some of the highest unemployment in North America. The few bright spots are in the fields of solar energy, medical and, to some extent, military business. The loss of several major contract manufacturers, as well as OEMs who have moved there manufacturing either off-shore or south of the border, has left this territory in a tough spot for 2011. The prospect of more fiscal responsibility and consistent tax laws coming out of Washington should help not just the Pacific Northwest but also the USA as a whole.
What new technologies have you seen emerging in your territory? The solar and fuel cell markets are both gaining momentum in the Pacific Northwest as well as energy monitoring, inverters, protection and the distribution of energy. There also seems to be more awareness of the need to improve the performance of electronics with the use of SIP (systems in package) technologies.
“Throughout 2010, business in our territory has had many inquires but has been slow to purchase. Now, at the end of the fourth quarter, we’re seeing some year-end sales. ”
