Industrial Update

My experience leads me to consider the Industrial and Automotive markets as part of the greater Hardware / Hardlines Market. While I tend to spend more time devoted to Hardware (because it is the bigger piece of the pie for most suppliers) it is important to also be aware of what is happening in other segments.

The "Industrial Update" title is linked to the ISA website and the report of President Tim Tevens at the recent ISA Business Expo in Chicago. This association has been through a tremendous transition in the last couple of years and now they are embarking on changes intended to make them stronger for the future. I recomend reading Tim's remarks to get a flavor of where this trade association is headed in the future.
