GOOD TO BE GLOBAL - Exports of construction machinery in 2007 rose 26% according to AEM report

摘要

While fears continue to grow for the construction equipment market in North America, a recent quarterly trends report from the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) emphasized that it's a very good time to be global. Because that's where most of the business is. According to the quarterly report issued by AEM, construction machinery exports topped USD17.2 billion in 2007, an overall increase of 26% over the previous year. AEM's quarterly export trends report is based on information compiled by AEM, the North American-based international trade group for equipment manufacturers, along with information from the U.S. Commerce Department and other sources.
