      Pros

      This was a foot hold for Bekaert, a global steel wire manufacturer that serviced the west coast and pacific northwest. It should have been a much more profitable area. excellent position for the pulp wire market and log bundling strand. Union workers kept a strangle hold on skilled labor.

      Cons

      Manpower was constantly an issue and caused problems with invetory and scheduling. Quality department was struggling to keep up with innovation for areas that could have been very profitable for this area of North American market.

      Pros

      Good products, research and development, skilled workforce.

      Cons

      Highly centralized, top down management style. Branch operations entirely under the control of head office. Too much focus on keeping costs down, mostly by driving down wages and stripping local offices of support staff. No local autonomy whatsoever.
