In today’s post-recession environment, business owners and management teams are challenged to determine how best to grow their plastics company after spending the better part of 18 months focused on survival and cost containment. Developing and implementing a growth strategy in today’s highly competitive and global plastics industry is a challenge to say the least and a company’s success generally hinges on the uniqueness of its strategic plan.
