>> THANK YOU.

10
00:01:01.528 --> 00:01:09.102
BEFORE WE GET INTO THE GROWTH
YOU'RE A WELL-KNOWN COMPANY, BUT
GIVE US YOUR BUSINESS MODEL AND
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE STRUCTURE

11
00:01:09.102 --> 00:01:18.344
>> SO WE HAVE TWO MAJOR
DIVISIONS ON TELECOMMUNICATION
WHERE WE GOT OUR START AND WE
BUILD NETWORKS FOR THE PHONE

PLATFORM INVOLVED IN BUILDING

13
00:01:22.682 --> 00:01:28.254
CARS.
AND THAT'S WHAT THE MACEDONIAN
EXPANSION IS ABOUT.
>> WE WERE TALKING IN THE

14
00:01:28.254 --> 00:01:34.494
SOCIAL MEDIA LOUNGE DRIVERLESS
VEHICLES DRIVING A LOT OF YOUR
POTENTIAL GROWTH.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.

15
00:01:34.494 --> 00:01:41.234
THREE YEARS AGO WE MADE A BIG
BET ON THE ELECTRIFICATION OF
THE VEHICLES AND THOUGHT THAT
WOULD HAPPEN RELATED TO

16
00:01:41.234 --> 00:01:47.740
AUTONOMOUS DRIVING AND SAFETY SO

COULD HAVE MAJOR EMPLOYMENT.
>> WE EXPECT TO INVEST SEVERAL
MILLION DOLLARS.

19
00:01:59.652 --> 00:02:05.925
IT'S OUTSIDE OF MACEDONIA THE
CAPITAL OF THE COUNTRY.
WE WILL START OFF WITH A COUPLE
HUNDRED IN PLACE BUT COULD END

20
00:02:05.925 --> 00:02:13.366
UP WITH AROUND 1,000 EMPLOYEES.
>> AS YOU LOOK AT THE
POTENTIAL FOR GROWTH WE TALK
ABOUT AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES AND WE

21
00:02:13.366 --> 00:02:20.707
HAD CUMMINS CEO ON AND BIG
TRUCKS AND THAT'S AFFECTING
EVERY ASPECT IN THE AUTOMOTIVE
SECTOR.

22
00:02:20.707 --> 00:02:26.412
HOW BIG IS THE POTENTIAL?
>> IT IS HUGE.
IT'S COMING.
THERE ARE KINKS TO WORK OUT

23
00:02:26.412 --> 00:02:32.785
PARTICULARLY WHEN YOU THINK
ABOUT SAFETY, BUT AT THE END OF
THE DAY TECHNOLOGY WILL WIN AND
WE NEED TO BE READY FOR IT.

24
00:02:32.785 --> 00:02:40.760
>> PART OF A-DETERMIA-DETERMI
NER BROADER GROWTH STORY AT
TELAMON AMONG OTHER THINGS
YOU'VE DONE A REFRESH AND

25
00:02:40.760 --> 00:02:48.334
INVESTED A LOT OF MONEY IN
CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS IN CARMEL
>> THAT'S RIGHT WE HAVE HALF
OF OUR WING FINISH AND WE HAVE

26
00:02:48.334 --> 00:02:55.909
MOVED TO KIND OF OPEN OFFICE
CONCEPT AND A LOT OF NATURAL
LIGHT IN AND ABOUT $2 MILLION IN
THE FACILITY SO EXCITED ABOUT

27
00:02:55.909 --> 00:03:03.449
THAT.
>> I KNOW YOU WANTED TO STAY
IN INDIANA, BUT THE ABILITY TO
DO BUSINESS IN INDIANA AND

28
00:03:03.449 --> 00:03:09.255
CENTRAL INDIANA IS THAT AN
ADVANTAGE?
>> WE ARE SPENDING TIME
LOOKING AROUND, BUT WE'VE HAD A

29
00:03:09.255 --> 00:03:15.261
GREAT EXPERIENCE WITH CARMEL AND
INDIANA AND ALL THE THINGS, YOU
KNOW, ABOUT THE BUSINESS
ENVIRONMENT HERE HAS BEEN

30
00:03:15.261 --> 00:03:22.468
HELPFUL TO US AND WE'VE BEEN
TREATED WELL AND HAVE A GOOD
HOME AND WANT TO KEEP IT.

ONE WEEK AWAY FROM ANNOUNCING AN

00:03:29.576 --> 00:03:36.049

FOR US TO HELP US MOVE INTO THE
5G ENVIRONMENT AND SUPPORT
CUSTOMERS IN THAT ARENA.

AT OVERALL GROWTH ON THE
INDUSTRIAL SIDE IN THE TELECOM
SIDE.

00:03:43.389 --> 00:03:50.029

CORPORATION I ASSUME YOU ARE
BULLISH ON THAT.
>> WE ARE EXCITED.

35
00:03:50.029 --> 00:03:55.735
WE CAN PROBABLY INVEST IN
ANYTHING BUT WE CAN'T INVEST IN
EVERYTHING SO WE ARE TRYING TO
MAKE GOOD CHOICES AND THOSE ARE

36
00:03:55.735 --> 00:04:02.041
TWO OF THE BEST THAT WE HAVE
MADE.
>> AND THAT INCLUDES EXPANSION
INTO EUROPE AND A PLAN IN
