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. LMI continues to emphasize aggressive lean manufacturing practices and will use a combination of its large internal lean group and external TCA subcontractors to continue to grow its lean resources. TCA was not profitable in 2008.

While the nearest residents are at least a half-mile away some representatives of nearby businesses expressed concerns about the facility. Alex Boyce president of A-Line Technologies said his engineering firm hosts visitors from as far away as Japan. “I would be very embarrassed to bring these people here and see a pile of food waste behind our buildings” he said. “How would you like to have a wood chipper running next to your business all day and bulldozers backing up?” In your voiceRead reactions to this story.
