AMT Reports 2012 Manufacturing Technology Orders Up

November 20, 2012

September U.S. manufacturing technology orders totaled $667.47 million according to the Association for Manufacturing Technology (AMT). This total, as reported by companies participating in the USMTO program, was up 40.7% from August and up 13.4% when compared with the total of $588.80 million reported for September 2011. With a year-to-date total of $4,282.11 million, 2012 is up 5.6% compared with 2011. These numbers and all data in this report are based on the totals of actual data reported by companies participating in the USMTO program. “In the 17 years that this data has been collected, there is only one other month that broke $600 million. Both of those were in months that reflected sales from IMTS, showing its strength as the largest manufacturing event in the Americas,” said Douglas K. Woods, AMT president. “It’s possible we could average $450 million a month for all of 2012 — the largest year ever for this program. This speaks to tremendous strength in the manufacturing industry, and is proof that IMTS 2012 was the strongest show seen in years.” U.S. manufacturing technology orders are also reported on a regional basis for five geographic breakdowns of the United States.
