CEMA report says booked orders were down in July

摘要

Initslatest Monthly Report, the Conveyor Equipment Manufacturers Association (CEMA, www.cemanet.org) reported its July 2010 Booked Orders Index was 131. The Index in July is down 36 points or 22% from June 2010's index of 167. While down from June, the July 2010 index represents an increase of 49% from the July 2009 Index of 88. What does this mean? Bob Reinfried, CEMA's executive vice president, said the conveyor industry had a very good month. While down from June, July 2010 was still better than July 2009. It's too early to tell if numbers will continue to climb. CEMA is forecasting an increase of 2% to 3% for the North American conveyor market in 2010.
