Positioned and Ready
January 6th, 2010
With our current economic volatility, 2009 has been a very challenging year. With a large portion of our “niche” products related to the automotive market, we have seen a slow-down in production. As the credit markets experienced setbacks, we saw jobs delayed and even cancelled. After experiencing a strong and productive year in 2008, our 2009 has been quite humbling. However, it has given us a chance to evaluate our business and make changes where needed.
We are leaner and more versatile as we prepare for the economy to get some upward momentum. We feel strongly that Aluminum Composite Material is more popular and readily used in the architectural community more than ever before and will continue to grow. ACM is now a prime product in Corporate Identity Programs and ever so popular in institutional applications.
Through three generations and over 70 years of our family-owned business, McDougall has a strong history of ebbing and flowing with the changing markets and economy. While continuing to grow with the ever-evolving ACM, we will be announcing new products and systems in the coming few months and are excited about the possibilities those will bring. Whatever the future holds we are well positioned and ready for growth.
–Alec McDougall, President
