CEO Says 3M Will Aim To Strengthen U.S. Growth
- Original WCCO-TV article: CEO Says 3M Will Aim To Strengthen U.S. Growth
The chairman and CEO of tape and Post-it maker 3M Co. says it will aim to get more growth in the U.S. even as the economy slows down.
George Buckley told shareholders at the company's annual meeting that the weaker U.S. economy will require more effort than usual to be successful.
3M is a diversified manufacturer that makes Scotch tape, furnace filters, Post-it notes, and power lines. Sixty-three percent of its sales came from outside the U.S. last year. But the U.S. remains its single biggest market.
Buckley says 3M will try harder to differentiate its products from competitors, innovate more, and improve service.
