new thinking

MSA is a New Zealand company designing and manufacturing a new architecture, with new thinking.

Companies get comfortable doing what they have always done, with a few incremental changes. This kind of incrementalism leads to irrelevance over time...because change tends to be revolutionary, not evolutionary.”
— Larry Page, Google Founder
