Results of the trend survey for Q3, 2017, processed by Acimall, the association of Italian manufacturers of woodworking machinery closed with an order increase by 42.9% compared to the same period of last year (it was 31.9% in April-June, based on a comparison between the same quarter this year and last year).

An excellent trend was also recorded by foreign orders, achieving 51.5% growth (34.8% in the previous quarter) Italy also did well - after some ‘second thoughts’ at the beginning of the year, waiting for the application guidelines of the recent ‘Industria 4.0’ plan by the Italian government - with orders up by 19.7% (18.75 in Q2).
