John Chapman and Mike Lipscomb will not be returning in 2017. We all sincerely appreciate the service and contributions that John and Mike have afforded SIFCO over the past number of years, and we wish them all the best. Continuing to improve our operational and financial performance will be our focus as we move forward.  Our target markets, both Aerospace and Energy, remain strong and SIFCO is committed to driving improved profitability and growth in fiscal 2017 and forward."
