Programming Note: Industrial Strength will be going on a temporary hiatus beginning in August while I’m on maternity leave. There may be a few special editions here and there, and you can follow me on Twitter (@blsuth), but for the most part I expect to be busy learning to be a mom. Thanks as always for reading. Try not to have too much fun without me, but I’m sure there will be plenty to talk about once I’m back.

It was a good quarter to be an industrial company that no longer sells to consumers.
