Busy DynaBil adds plant, hires workers, expects big bump in sales
A new 33,000-square-foot plant, the latest expansion at DynaBil Industries Inc. in Coxsackie, will help double annual revenue within three years, said company president Paul Burton. The aerospace manufacturer will hire 70 workers, pushing its total work force to 300 by the end of this year. That's almost twice the staff DynaBil had two years ago. The company had already hired 50 employees ahead of an announcement about the new building Feb. 4. DynaBil has been boosted by its role as a parts supplier to Boeing Co.'s 787 "Dreamliner" airplane. The new manufacturing plant gives DynaBil needed space, Burton said. .

Small is big at Phila. auto show
The concept cars, the hybrids, the Hummers, the ultra-luxury vehicles, the ubiquitous SUVs and minivans all got their due. But the car that seemed to truly capture the imagination yesterday at the Philadelphia International Auto Show was the itty-bitty Smart Fortwo, which has been available in the United States for less than a month. "Is this the line to sit in it?" asked Robin Emrick of Bensalem. There was no line, just a steady throng of people three deep milling around the two-seater, photographing it, marveling at it, lifting its hatchback, and sitting in it, in some cases, rather snugly. "It's a little shocking to me," said Raymond James, a brand specialist at the Smart Center in Cherry Hill. "I knew it would be popular, but I didn't think we'd be the hit of the show." Curiosity, not car lust, seemed to be the prevailing mood.
