SEL was a shining example of what was possible, providing insight and inspiration to PCB fabricators looking toward growth and expansion. In that issue, we also examined business strategy and execution, noting that a visionary approach is essential for long-term success. Impor- tantly, it was the effective execution of that strat- egy that turned vision into reality. The SEL facility was also a showcase for this kind of strategic plan- ning and operation.

We also speak with John Hendrickson and Jessi Hall of SEL, whose innovative manufac-
