Despite stock volatility, executives moving ahead with growth plans — for now
“We think long term, and our customers think long term, so these short-term glitches don’t matter that much,” said Rolf Meyer, chief executive of Harting North America, which makes industrial connectors. “We’re expanding our capacity and need new equipment for some of the jobs we’re working on,” he added.
The company, with about 120 employees, has been planning to add another five or six by the end of the year and six or seven more in early 2012 — plans that have not shifted with the latest volatility.
