I have known Dan Beaulieu for over 20 years. He has been and remains a dedicated and fierce defender of America’s PCB fabricators and its domestic industry. He is particularly an asset to those that are not one of the world’s largest and need a “virtual” sales and marketing unit, help in hiring and training salesmen and distributors, or need guidance in writing their annual business plan. Dan is also an advocate of “back to basics” and believes in continuous improvement.
