“The auto industry is really booming right now and one of the things we wanted to do coming over here is to make sure the suppliers into the industry know where it stands, how long this boom might go on,” Gillette said.  

“I’m going to talk about some of the issues that suppliers might face relative to financing and relative to commodities prices.”
