2 On June 22, 2006, the investment company Wendel became a major shareholder in Deutsch. This new company merges Deutsch ECD in the US, Deutsch UK in England, and Compagnie Deutsch in France. When I was offered the opportunity to become Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of this new company, I accepted the responsibility with enthusiasm for the task at hand and great confidence in its future. From its beginnings in California, the Deutsch Group has become a world-class company by understanding that the key to its success is developing close customer relationships while providing these customers with innovative solutions. It is this understanding of the power of proximity that led Deutsch to establish facilities in France and England. This same realization will lead to tomorrow s presence in India and China. These close relationships and market sensitivity play an equally important role when it comes to managing the Deutsch team. Despite the cultural differences found in a company of such diversity, it is possible to create a climate of positive collaboration, provided that we recognize and respect each other s differences. We have also created an international management team, furthering our growing reputation as a global competitor. Deutsch s future growth will depend on an enhanced worldwide presence in the marketplace. The global nature of our business demands that we constantly improve the quality of our products by upgrading our manufacturing practices, improving our delivery times, and reducing our costs. Finally, as a new global company, our challenge is to show our customers that we can better serve them by offering significant competitive advantages: - A greater worldwide presence - Personalized customer relations supported by local manufacturers - A broader range of quality products - An enhanced ability to Innovate Just as our logo suggests, Deutsch and its teams are constantly innovating and modernizing to be a step ahead as a world leader in all the markets we serve.
