如果一家美国制造公司不仅能击败日本竞争对手,日后还为其中一家设计机器,那么它必定拥有秘密武器。就米拉克朗公司而言,这些秘密武器就是50岁的集团副总裁、负责塑料机械部门的哈罗德、法伊格和他的革命性产品开发手段:“狼群”。就在21家美国公司在日本企业的竞争下难以为继的时候,法伊格率领米拉克朗公司登上了美国塑料机械市场龙头老大的位置。他的总部设在辛辛那提的公司已经荣登世界第二的宝座,仅次于德国的曼内斯曼集团。米拉克朗公司是前辛辛那提一米拉克龙公司的一部分,该公司去年把很大一部分机床业务卖给了洛杉矶联合企业尤诺瓦集团。
If a U.S. manufacturing company can not only defeat a Japanese competitor, but also design a machine for one of them in the future, it must have a secret weapon. In the case of Milacron, these secret weapons are the 50-year-old vice president of the group, Harold, Faig, who is in charge of the plastics machinery department, and his revolutionary product development method: “Wolfs”. While 21 U.S. companies were unsustainable under the competition of Japanese companies, Faig led Milacron’s company to the top position in the U.S. plastics machinery market. His Cincinnati-based company has already topped the world’s second place, second only to the German Mannesmann Group. Milacron is part of the former Cincinnati-Millacron company that sold a significant portion of its machine tool business last year to Los Angeles-based conglomerate Yunova Group.
