PRODUCER BUYING HABITS SHIFTING FROM YEARS PAST

摘要

There have been a couple of notable changes over the last year in how aggregate producers evaluate equipment for potential purchase. End users are becoming increasingly interested in the overall cost of ownership and return on investment with equipment purchases. They are asking about the cost, both in dollars and in time, of maintenance. They're also asking more for spare parts lists and suggested stock items, and more are taking advantage of extended warranty and service packages.
