FROM THE EDITOR:

Dear Readers,

Welcome to the November 10th edition of the PEM e-newsletter. This issue includes a special product focus on protective clothing, as well as a few reminders about workplace safety.

This month also brings better news on the manufacturing front. Sales are up and production appears to be growing across North America, which is a positive signal for the new year.

oTo prepare for the new year, training should be top of mind. Read about a few highlights of the Maintrain Toronto show below. Also note that the Excellence in Manufacturing Consortium is expanding its offering of lean manufacturing training sessions. Lots of opportunities coming to learn from your peers!

As always, we welcome any comments on what you read here.

Regards,

Rob Colman
