  12. PROFITABILITY PLANPRODUCT STRATEGY • Good mix of stand-alone/systems; custom/standard; repeat profile/new profile • Solution focus for customers • Excellent parts and service

  13. PARTS • Success • Added TISHKEN • R. Schaffer technical expertise in Service • Lowered costs through Formtek Beijing • Challenges • Lost B. Hastings • Replacement leader failed • Too much inventory • Not enough promotion

  14. PARTS 2007 • New leader who is customer-centric • Electronic library of reference materials • Telephone lead generation • Web-site promotion • Link more to service

  15. YODER • Success • Refrigeration tube, welding wire, closed shapes, custom roll formers, stand alone mills • With Hill systems • Challenges • Full systems profitability • Keeping market share on stand alone mills • Losing rafted jobs • Lost D. Muchnicki and D. Krosky in sales

  16. YODER 2007 • Focus on stand alone machines, roll tooling, replacement stands and parts • Limit number of systems, tube mills and custom • Use Managing Performance process to price at higher margins • Develop quick disconnect and universal arrangement for “rafting”

  17. B & K • Success • 2 DWR and control • 2 DWR Plus • 3 TSR • Challenges • Structural 12 gage punching • Bundling and control • Accessory line • Door line • Versamill

  18. 2DWR Supermill

  19. Versamill

  20. B & K 2007 • Finish development carefully with a veiw to costs, start up and reliability • Focus on supermill sales while de-emphasizing related products • International Sales – CE version • ROI Selling

  21. HILL • Success • P. Williams facilitates sales cooperation and brings $2.0-$3.0 million/year of Yoder and WinPro sales • Challenges • No progress in moving people to Cleveland • Costs too high

  22. HILL 2007 • Plan to downsize or sell Hill to focus on high-end roll forming tools for punch, notch and cut-off • Continue to sell rotary punching technology • Use of EAE Turkey and India sources for standard tools • Continue to look for Cleveland-based people with tooling skills

  23. LOCKFORMER • Success • Triplex in 6” and 8” designed • Chassis from Formtek Beijing • Challenges • Lack of pre-cut application engineering talent • Lack of sales concepting talent • Costs too high • Competition is diffuse, but strong

  24. LOCKFORMER 2007 • Use R. Heilman for concepting • Re-develop dealers in the U.S. • Purchase base units for triplex, duplex and double-extended shaft models from EAE Turkey • Consider line integration in Maine

  25. WINPRO • Success • SFM: Crystal Achievement Award • MRP Downloads - Fenevision • Screen express control • Stiffener machine • Challenges • SFM Profiles / controls • Screen Express Vertical • Residential real estate • Controls engineers

  26. Screen Express

  27. SFM Roll Former

  28. WINPRO 2007 • Be selective on SFM – develop standard screen frame to sell to small producers • Stop Vertical screen frame development • Delay sales force and service expansion until 2008-9 buying season • ARX-SYS Development

  29. ARX-SYS SPACER SYSTEM

  30. System Overview • Drops into existing CED Intercept line – 285 units in the field • Structural spacer system with four continuous corners and enhanced rigidity • Employs a state of the art absorbent technology used in the medical and pharmaceutical industries produced by CSP Technologies called the DesiKey.

  31. Corner Assembly

  32. DesiKey Spacer Bottom View Chamfered Edges for Easy Insertion Connector Plug Latch (A Raised Feature on the Connector)

  33. Muntin Assembly Latch Alignment Features

  34. CSP’s Activ-PolymerTMA three component blend • A majority polymer (e.g. PP, PE, …) – the base component -- provides structure • A particle (e.g. absorbing agent) • A minority polymer that is immiscible (like mixing oil and water) in the majority polymer and has a chemical attraction for the particle • Channels composed of the minority polymer and the particle resides in the channels

  35. Production Advantage • Integrates into existing production • Less heat – quicker cool-down and throughput • Greater rigidity – easy of handling • Reduction of labor and cost of rivet • Roll-Former capacity of 4200 units per shift (based on 36” x 24” IG, 7 hour shift at 100 FPM)

  36. Quality Advantage • No 4th corner – 4 continuous corners • Elimination of the screw/rivet • Better seal with key plug • No sagging of Matrix bead/unaffected by UV or southern exposure • Greater rigidity of spacer • Aesthetics

  37. Cost Advantage • Elimination of PPG royalty payment • Reduction of energy costs • Elimination of maintenance and parts of Matrix extruder / alternative use • Consistent cost accounting by unit -Intercept does not apply the same bead size • Reduced Muntin clip costs (no royalty)

  38. Savings Analysis Assumptions • 1600 IGUs/shift, 250 work days, 2 shifts/day • PPG Royalty at $.03 / ft. • Matrix costs at $.03 / ft – DesiKey at $.25 each • Average unit size of 24” x 36” • Electricity costs of $45 / matrix pump / shift • 60% of IGUs have grids • Muntin clip cost of $.027 each (ArxSys at $.024) • The ArxSys Spacer incorporates 20% more metal • 15/32 Spacer Intercept Strip Width of 1.30” vs. 1.56” for ArxSys at $52/cwt (Intercept $.025/ft)

  39. Savings Analysis ArxSys Price $380,000 - $420,000

  40. PROFITABILITY PLANSALES/MARKETING • Regionalize Sales in North America • Improve Contract Management • Improve Price Quotation Accuracy • Tap the power of SalesForce.com • Focus on profitable growth in Yoder, B&K and parts • Sell what is in stock and engineered

  41. Regional Sales • Hired E. Martin to replace key losses • Created six (6) U.S. Regions • Kick off with sales meeting – April 2007 • Focus two sales engineers on proposals
