According to the WIRE-Net survey, which was conducted in July and completed last week, 61% of the respondents said they would add an average of at least three jobs before the end of the year. “This is almost a 5% expansion in the average work force size for responding companies,” Mr. CoIm said. In addition, 71% told Mr. Coim they had capital spending projects on the drawing boards; their planned investments total $8 million. About 40 member companies of WIRE-Net answered the questionnaire, Mr. CoIm said. A rebounding auto industry and an aggressive cost-cutting strategy were cited by two of the WIRE-Net members as responsible for their good fortune this year. “We figure out a way to do something at less cost,” said Steve Peplin, president of Talan Products Inc., a 6-year-old metal-stamping company at 1985 W. 68th St. “We're lean; we’re efficient, and we work for slim profit margins. Mr. Peplin said Talan started the year with 10 employees and now has 17. “We are looking at a record year, with sales up 35% to 40% from last year,’ he said.
