Conveyor orders increase and booked orders up

摘要

There are mixed numbers on the books, according to statistics in the most recent report from the Conveyor Equipment Manufacturers Association . CEMA reported that its December 2009 conveyor booked orders are up 1% over November 2009, and that December 2009 represents an increase of 19% over December 2008 new orders. CEMA also reported that December 2009 shipments were up 12% over November 2009, but down 24% from December 2008.rnWhat that says, according to Bob Reinfried executive vice president of CEMA, is that 2008 was a good year for shipments because orders were on the books. But because orders dropped off in 2009, shipments are off. Every month, CEMA releases reports that compare one month to the previous month. It also produces semi-annual reports that estimate market size.
