Over the last 30 + years we have seen many changes in technologies and products. We have successfully adapted to each new wave of innovation. It continues to happen today. For example, the automotive industry is quickly adding more and more wireless technology to their automobiles. This means our automotive customers are scrambling to implement these technologies into their vehicles. By doing this their customers benefit from numerous additional features and in the end it improves overall satisfaction. It also provides them with the opportunity for higher price points and increased margins.
