Repositioning Lean and Continuous Development New Opportunities Customer Delight Human Assets
 

  ATC has been largely recognized as a remanufacturer of drivetrain products for the auto industry. For 2001, you expect approximately 30 percent of the Company’s revenue to be derived from the Logistics business segment, which is growing significantly. Is ATC repositioning itself as a logistics services provider? What are your plans for the Drivetrain Remanufacturing business segment?

 
  We have been quite successful in growing our Logistics segment. We are investing in information technology and additional infrastructure improvements to assure continued growth.

Simultaneously, we are also investing in our Drivetrain Remanufacturing segment as we dramatically change the way we think about and run this business, through the aggressive implementation of lean manufacturing and continuous improvement techniques. We see numerous opportunities for growth in our Drivetrain Remanufacturing segment as we provide best value solutions to support a wider range of customer needs. As we transform this business to world-class status, we will drive increased profitability. It is fair to say that we are reshaping ATC to maximize our distinctive strengths in both our Drivetrain Remanufacturing and Logistics segments.
