Consolidated sales for 2008 are now expected to be $239 million net of eliminations. In late 2008 the company acquired the remaining 50 percent interest of a joint venture partner in a heat-treatment facility located in the company’s Mexicali plant. LMI has committed $500000 to build an aluminum finishing and paint facility in that plant which should be completed by mid-2009. In addition the company decided to discontinue its Technical Change Associates Inc. (TCA) lean consulting business as of December 31 2008.
