In Reply to: Move to OTC - hopefully VERY short term ... posted by B. Roche on September 09, 1999 at 17:39:07:
The way I see it, Soligen has opportunities to supply quick turn prototypes. Low volume, decent ASP ? The customers probably go to the high volume casting companies for their production volume requirements. These companies produce in volume at lower cost than a prototype house.
Get's back to my point and questions several months ago....
- What is the industries TAM for quick turn prototypes?
- What is Soligen's market plan to be a player in the prototype market. Global ? Domestic ?
- Has the sales and marketing team defined a plan for targeting the right customers.
- Expand to be a volume player ? I doubt it, as it takes expertise, and capacity investments.
Good luck Yehorem and team,
