9. What is fueling our growth?
• Re-shoring of manufacturing operations from
places like China and Mexico is driving demand
for automation to make manufacturing in the
US more globally competitive
• Engineering staffs at our clients’ sites have
been reduced by the economic downturns in
2001-2003 and 2008-2010
• We are excellent at what we do

10. Local and Global Strength
LSI has received a commitment within the last month for a large project with
an international company with operations in North America, South
America, Europe, and Asia. LSI will be performing process control and
automation projects globally for this new client.
Project management functions will be served out of Colorado and
Memphis, and engineering functions will be done at a minimum of 3 locations
– Colorado, Memphis, and Guangzhou.
LSI will be compensated in the $8MM-$12MM range for this effort over the
next 12-18 months. Very few integrators have the staff, breadth, and depth of
application and management talent to execute a project of this magnitude in
this timeline across the globe.
