Wow, that was indeed a mouthful.
I am very surprised though that a man of your
position would so blatantly slam an entire part of the industry
such as PCB fabricators.
How could you support this comment " the PCB
manufacturers aren't talking to their customer base.
They definitely do not talk to the component
manufacturers."
I can understand you possibly proving your position for a
few select shops, but you make this for ALL shops.
Again, can you support this statement?
Network Circuits, Inc. is one PCB fabricator
that is indeed looking towards the future. We, like many other
PCB shops in the country
continually send personnel to IPC workshops, customer sponsored seminars and
training, supplier and vendor sponsored training,
etc.
We do this so we can remain a leader in this industry.
Management at this company is expected to remain
current in all aspects of the industry that will affect the
direction that this company is headed.
It is the goal of network circuits to maintain
an open line of communication in ALL AREAS with our customers,
I can understand you making this comment perhaps about a
select group of companies you may have had bad
experiences with; however, I take exception to you placing
all companies under this demeaning umbrella.
I would wish that you used better verbage and expression in
future remarks, for there are many of us out here
that are headed exactly where this industry needs us to
go.
