It's been a long time between postings for me but with good reason. I've actually been quite busy with the two projects I've been working on.

The first project is starting a packaging business in Thailand. We are now the primary distributor for APS machines and materials in Southeast Asia. Automated Packaging Systems is a large privately held company based in Cleveland Ohio that sells bag-on-a-roll packaging machines. They are the dominant player in their space in both the US and Europe. We just had a visit from the newly hired APS Asia-Pac representative and I he seems to be quite happy with what he sees so far. I also just hired a sales manager with 6 years experience as well so I think we're well on our way. We're have a big show coming up in June called ProPak Asia that I'm busy preparing for now. If that goes well, I think we should get a ton of leads.

The second project is still confidential, but involves outsourcing sewing from the US to Thailand. This is definitely a multi year project but it's definitely headed in the right direction.

Since both projects involve completely different people and companies, it takes up a pretty significant portion of my time. I'm glad it didn't take me too long to find something to do here though.
