From the Editor
I have to admit, we have a lot of fun at SMT headquarters. Even though there are constant deadlines to meet and travel schedules to work around, when the whole team gets together, we can just let loose, have fun, and enjoy. This attitude was apparent at Proxy Manufacturing in Methuen, Mass., when Shawn Foy, the company's president, showed us the official company game room. But our facility tour proved that it's not just air hockey and darts at Proxy Manufacturing, Inc.
