From the Editor Sourcing at Your Fingertips This technology review and sourcing guide provides today's tools for tomorrow's leaders through supplier listings and product reviews covering a variety of technology categories. According to the continuing expansion in business levels—as reported by MMT's Economics Editor Bill Wood in his monthly Mold Business Index—mold manufacturers are remaining optimistic about future business expectations, and at the same time are researching and investing in appropriate technologies to improve their business operations. So this year's Technology Review and Sourcing Guide comes at an appropriate time. This guide—which serves to aide the decision-making process by presenting a year's worth of technologies and suppliers in a sourcing grid and product reviews—highlights some of the year's latest moldmaking product developments with mold engineering/ design, build and maintenance/repair. This year we have again included special tips and features published throughout the year alongside the product releases. This guide has accurate, comprehensive, easy-to-read and use data on today's technology, equipment, products and services. The data within this year's condensed grids appears in its entirety online at moldmakingtechnology.com/suppliers. The 2013 format again includes key supplier profiles preceding a sourcing grid tailored to match suppliers with their respective product/service offerings (advertisers are noted in boldface type), followed by technical product/service reviews and tips/features.
