Manufacturing Climbed About 20% This Year
Martin Engster on a year that started slow, climbed all summer, and brought more spindles into the shop than normal — and why business is always a rollercoaster.
This year started slow for us. Then it picked up a little before March, and it kept climbing all summer. That was a nice surprise.
People I talk with in the industry told me manufacturing should be up about 20% this year. We've seen it in our shop — more spindles have come in for repair than normal.
Business is always a rollercoaster. Up and down. Right now we're riding the wave and getting spindles back out the door as fast as we can.
What are you seeing in your shop this year?
