Carle visited Marian's website and downloaded our 4 Questions to Ask When Selecting a PSA eBook. Within the hour of first contact, Mike calls Carle to see if HumanWare needs help with a PSA application, and learns they are in need of a PSA to use on one of their new mobile electronic devices. Carle emphasizes time is of the essence.
Carle hopes to produce a preliminary, small amount of product (approximately 1,000 die-cut parts) in a very short time. He also tells Mike that assembly of the products will take place in China.
