Materion Corp (MTRN)

We're hoping that more than, primarily, the relationship with LQMT will be discussed on this MTRN board since MTRN as a company is much broader. For example, the transition of some MTRN business units and/or product lines over to LQMT/LM based materials would be interesting to discuss or know about as MTRN considers this over the next 5 years based on comments in a past Annual report. Whether or not and when MTRN considers this would ( or could) factor into LQMT's plans overall as well. We don't expect to spend a lot of time here since our original interest was in LQMT. But seeing that MTRN is a major partner of theirs, it's worth keeping an eye on occasionally if something more significant could develop. Our question is "when" will LM/LQMT become significant enough to MTRN to be reflected in LQMT financial and stock performance.
