A most useful way for shareholders to evaluate the quality of longer-term investments in companies like Sun Hydraulics is to gather clues about how a company tends to think and behave... Personally, I think manufacturers that manage solely with hard asset numbers are making a big mistake. Companies that manage by nurturing soft assets, like corporate knowledge and relationships, will do better in the long term... We believe that our competitive advantage is based in the creativity, skill and commitment of our employees.
