April 14, 2025Comments
New orders of metalworking machinery, measured by the U.S. Manufacturing Technology Orders Report published by AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology, are up 8.8% year over year through February. Contract machine shops, the largest consumer of manufacturing technology, increased orders by nearly 25% over January, and while the value of orders placed by aerospace manufacturers declined sharply from January to February, the number of units increased slightly. This indicates the industry is buying machinery to overcome capacity constraints. And, order values of machinery placed by electrical-equipment manufacturers were roughly flat from January to February, while the number of units ordered nearly doubled.
