Mr. Johnsen talks about his recent attendance to Paperworld China and he gives his impression of the Asia Pacific market and economy. He also explains why Acme United might be well positioned to benefit from this booming market with continued economic growth.

Mr. Johnsen provides details on the Company’s quarterly dividend increase to 7 cents per share, or 28 cents annually, about a 3 percent yield at today’s stock price.
