Skolnik Comments On What’s Ahead In 2003

In the January 2003 edition of HAZARDOUS CARGO BULLETIN, the esteemed British publication dedicated to Dangerous Goods issues, I recently participated in a special survey concerning steel containers and drums. I thought I would share the essence of my comments, with those who read this Newsletter. Reflecting on 2002, I stated that "the greatest challenge in 2002 was to remain profitable while suffering a 50% increase in the cost of our most significant raw material (steel)." While this was true, my comments relative to 2003 envision new opportunities that will fuel new products and customer friendships. I stated that "Security issues are influencing packaging selection post 9/11 and customers have started to see added value in the extra durability and strength of Skolnik‘s products. Our customers are willing to add some peace of mind to their packaging. Given the unusual (and ever-changing) circumstances of global events, we expect new, exciting and challenging opportunities to be presented." So bring on 2003!
