Machine Tool Orders End 2013 on Strong Note


Post Date: 03 Mar 2014    Viewed: 356

December U.S. manufacturing technology orders totaled $491.89 million according to AMT – The Association for Manufacturing Technology. This total, as reported by companies participating in the USMTO program, was up 9.9% from November and up 11.8% when compared with the total of $439.9 million reported for December 2012. With a year-end total of $4,939.6 million, 2013 was down 5.1% compared with 2012.

“With a strong finish to 2013 for manufacturing technology orders, plus strong reports for durable goods, capacity utilization, and PMI, there is plenty of favorable momentum for the industry going into 2014,” said Douglas K. Woods, AMT president. “The average age of corporate fixed assets is at almost 22 years, and interest rates are historically low. This one-two punch is creating a ripe atmosphere for investment in capital equipment, which we anticipate will translate into more great news for manufacturing growth.”
