                  THE CLEAR VOICE OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN   GLASS INDUSTRY

Proudly brought to you by:

Dear Customer,

Well here we are, at the end of another year. Boy oh Boy has it been a year. A year we will never forget. Many challenges and new opportunities, but more than anything a difficult year........ then again tell me which one was easy?

The South African glass industry went through some dynamic change in 2011 and one thing is for sure, the industry as we know it will not be the same as the industry of tomorrow. All that any of us can do is to do the best we can, to adjust and hopefully take maximum advantage of any opportunity that presents itself.

The economic outlook for next year is somewhat uncertain and few are using the term “cautiously optimistic.” My personal feeling is that we are on the right road as an Industry and as a country. The harder one works, the more one will succeed.

For Glass News Online, it was a great year; we published numerous newsletters and truly became a mouthpiece for our Industry. Personally I am very humbled by the opportunity to communicate on behalf of the industry to the industry. Thank you to the many readers who have sent emails of thanks and thank you to those who have given me new ideas.

For McCoy’s Glass it was a year we entered a new domain, and we remain dedicated towards living up to our slogan “Leaders in Glass”.  A massive thank you to all our staff and suppliers for backing and supporting McCoy’s all the way. Most importantly THANK YOU to all our loyal customers. We thank you for your support and your loyalty. McCoy’s is what it is because of your custom. Welcome to all our new customers and again thank you to the many customers who have supported us over the past 14 years.

To all our Christian customers Merry Christmas.

May 2012 be the year in which all your dreams come true. To all those who are having a break, have a good one, rest well and travel safely.

God bless,

Steve McCoy
