Excerpt
Excerpt: The tool-and-die sector of the U.S. economy has been buffeted in recent years by numerous challenges, including intense competition from low-priced foreign competitors, a looming dearth of skilled workers, and the deleterious effects of tariffs on the price of one of its most important raw materials. One Midwestern company, though?Metz Tool and Die of Rockford, Ill.?has been working hard to overcome these obstacles by aggressively seeking new markets abroad. And with the help of some results-oriented government programs?such as those of the U.S. Commercial Service, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), and the Global Trade & Technology Network (GTN)?the company recently was successful in entering a foreign market for the first time.
