I just saw a great article that is very encouraging for our market. It is in today's Crain's Chicago Business, and it discusses a trend called "Near Shoring."

 

One of the key points that I took away from the article is that the Midwest may not have enough maufacturing talent to keep up with the demand if this trend continues.  This will cause a need for manufacturers to remain competitive in the market and attract key personnel by having the right set of tools.  Has your company adopted SolidWorks solutions yet?
