      Pros

      Originally good R&D, and potential international growth. New process.

      Cons

      Company wasted their competitive advantage by poor business decisions and lack of a concerted expansion plan. Many empty plants around world. Layed off 1400 associates, most of them long term employeed who doubled product efficiency and are now redundant as market matures and offshore competitors dump product below their cost.
