Industry watchers have noticed the incredible strides the Washington manufacturers have jointly undertaken to recover from the dizzy losses incurred during the phase of recession that the entire country had to sadly go through. Tom Dubin, MNI’s President has gone ahead to commend the state for its remarkable comeback crediting the success to Washington’s diversified economy, its technical prowess in fields of aerospace technology and its educated workforce. Washington State now is a ground for entrepreneurial strives in innovations and also a nurturing place for traditional industries.
