PRODUCT OF THE WEEK

New Continuous-Cleaning HF Drawer Magnet Cleans "On-The-Fly"
Bunting® Magnetics Co. has developed a new Pneumatic Continuous-Cleaning HF Drawer Magnet. This HF Drawer Magnet is designed to fully extend the magnetic cartridges outside the housing and to clean "On-The-Fly" with no disruption of product flow.

As our tube assemblies travel outside the housing, grommets wipe the tubes clean all the way to their nonmagnetic tapered ends. This ensures that each cartridge is fully wiped and prevents captured tramp iron from reentering the housings.

By allowing the magnets to be self-cleaned while product is still flowing, Bunting® Magnetics Pneumatic Continuous-Cleaning HF Drawer Magnets provide magnetic protection during the entire manufacturing process.

Our Pneumatic Continuous-Cleaning HF Drawer Magnets features our exclusive "Dense Wall" construction which stands up to rigorous use outlasting thin wall competitive drawer magnets.

INDUSTRY TRENDS
Top Concerns of Midsized Manufacturing CFOs
Prime Advantage, the leading buying consortium for midsized industrial manufacturers, announced the findings of its first Group CFO Survey, revealing the top financial concerns of its member companies' CFOs in 2009. Among the top findings from this study is that the credit crunch is not yet having an adverse direct impact on these midsized U.S. manufacturers. Instead, other factors that are related to the economy are creating more pressing issues. "Less than 10 percent of our member company CFOs indicated that they have been directly affected by the credit crunch, demonstrating that there are more pressing issues for midsized manufacturers," said Louise O'Sullivan, president, founder and CEO of Prime Advantage. Ninety-three percent of the respondents listed "an inability to measure customer demand" among their top three external concerns, with 76 percent of respondents citing this as the top concern. Credit markets and interest rates was the second most frequently listed concern, and volatility of the dollar and a new administration and congress tied for the third most frequently listed concern. Weak consumer demand was also the greatest concern highlighted in the latest Duke University/CFO magazine survey. In a strong indicator of the importance of product quality and innovation, CFOs are expecting to see an increase in productivity (45 percent of respondents) and new product development budgets (31 percent of respondents) over 2008 levels. Forty-five percent of respondents are expecting productivity and product development budgets to at least be maintained at 2008 levels.
