Nolan’s Notes: Finding Your Sweet Spot

07/02/2025 | Nolan Johnson -- Column: Nolan's Notes
I grew up in the U.S. Pacific Northwest, where I still call home. In my early years, the region’s economy was fueled by forestry, agriculture, and fisheries. Tektronix ruled the economic landscape, of course, and Nike was just emerging from the University of Oregon track and field program. Intel wouldn’t remake my hometown of Hillsboro, Oregon, for a few more years, so my upbringing was mostly farmland and fishing boats.

Nolan’s Notes: Moving Forward With Confidence

06/03/2025 | Nolan Johnson -- Column: Nolan's Notes
We’re currently enjoying a revitalized and dynamic EMS provider market with significant growth potential. Since December 2024, the book-to-bill has been extremely strong and growing. Starting with a ratio of 1.24 in December, book-to-bill has continued to accelerate to a 1.41 in April. Yet, there is a global economic restructuring taking place.

While we may be in a 90-day tariff pause among leading economic nations, the deadline is quickly approaching and that leaves many of you feeling unsettled about what to expect.
