Manufacturing Technology Realizes Largest 3-month Total in 20 Years Announces Industrial Journalist Thomas R Cutler

Manufacturing technology orders totaled $467 million in October, capping a three-month total of $1.6 billion since August. That sum represents the largest three-month total since April 1998. According to Industrial Journalist Thomas R. Cutler, “This three-month increase is coupled with an impressive 24 percent increase from the same 10 months in 2017.”

The AMT (The Association for Manufacturing Technology) reported that this is the time of year that users of manufacturing technology typically scramble to put new equipment in service for tax purposes. AMT members report that need, not tax issues, are dominating quotations and inquires in November and December. Indicators suggest continued growth in manufacturing at slower rates. It is very encouraging that with the significant increase in capital spending on capacity, capacity utilization rates continue to creep upwards.
