MHI State of the Industry Report: Growth to continue, but at a slower pace

摘要

Growth will continue in the materials handling industry in 2014 and 2015, said MHI at the association's annual State of the Industry press conference held at Modex last month. "We anticipate growth in the range of 7% to 8% in 2014, and from 9% to 10% in 2015," said George Prest, CEO of MHI. Prest tempered his comments by noting some downside risk remains for the first half of 2014, due to global economic and political uncertainty, as well as tentative U.S. consumer and investor confidence.
