Cast Expo '10 in the Books

Admittingly my expectations going into CastExpo where no high.  However, I am pleasently surprised about our traffic at our booth.  Very good leads and very good customer visits.  This show was time well spent!

Overall, most metal casters said the same thing, business is better than last year, but can still be better.   Of course there where several that said they are producing at full capacity.  This is alway good to hear!

Thanks to our customers stopping by.  By last count we had 48 customers visit with us.  Always good to show them what is new. 

Well, my next month will be spent on our new website.  Gotta go!

Long Week!!!

Went a visited with various B&L customers this week. Started off with Smith Foundry, Twin City Die Casting, then Kirsh Foundry, Stainless Steel Foundry and Eck Industries. Thank you to all for letting us stop by and meet with you.

Next week will be exciting. Our Progress Partner Manager is coming in for our monthly meeting. We need to review some options for a new module we will release soon. Also, our State Rep John Proos will stop by the office for a visit. Mr. Proos has heard about the great things happening at B&L and would like to stop by and visit with us.

On a personal note, I am attending a community auction on Saturday. This auction is a black tie affair with many neat items up for auction. Proceeds go to charity, so it is for a good cause. 1st time I have worn a tux in 15 years! This will be a great event.
