What’s Happening in Telford, UK?

We thought you’d never ask. Our EU facility is up and running, orders are coming in, and prototypes are going out. We met our ’05 goals, and the facility has already begun the process of doubling production capacity. But the best news is that the customers are happy. If it’s true, as we’ve heard, that folks are more reserved over there, the fact that customers describe the performance of Protomold Limited as “impressive” (and they have), suggests that they’re very happy.

News from the Great White North

Some of you may think, especially at this time of year, that “The Great White North” refers to our headquarters location here in Minnesota. Actually, as any Minnesotan will tell you, the real GWN is Canada, where we’ve been shipping an increasing number of parts. In fact, we now have an online export management system, which you can see for yourself on our web site. So if your location is great, white, and north of Minnesota and you need fast, affordable, injection moulded prototypes, check us out, eh?

If there are others in your organization, in purchasing, marketing, or the executive suite, who you think might benefit from a big-picture view of modern prototyping, email us their contact information (name, title, and mailing address) at info@protomold.co.uk and and we’ll give them a free subscription as well.
