Year-to-date U.S.
Manufacturing Technology Orders Up 5.6 Percent Over 2011
September U.S. manufacturing technology
orders totaled $667.47 million according to AMT-The
Association For Manufacturing Technology. This total, as
reported by companies participating in the United States
Manufacturing Technology Orders (USMTO) program,
was up 40.7 percent from August and up 13.4 percent 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 percent 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.”
The USMTO report,
compiled by the trade association
representing the production and
distribution of manufacturing
technology, provides regional and
national U.S. orders data of
domestic and imported machine tools
and related equipment. Analysis of
manufacturing technology orders
provides a reliable leading economic
indicator as manufacturing
industries invest in capital
metalworking equipment to increase
capacity and improve productivity.
U.S. manufacturing technology orders
are also reported on a regional
basis for five geographic breakdowns
of the United States.
Northeast Region
Manufacturing technology orders in
the Northeast Region in September
totaled $70.75 million, up 42.6

Western Region manufacturing
technology orders in September stood
at $104.72 million, 33.7 percent
more than the August total of $78.34
million and 53.4 percent higher than
