FinancialBuzz.com: The Importance of Technology for Industrial Manufacturing

NEW YORK, February 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Industrial manufacturers are facing an environment of economic and political uncertainties. Global demand for manufactured products is growing at a very slow pace. Output is estimated to have increased only 3.1 percent in 2016 and projected to increase about 3.4 percent in 2017, according to the International Monetary Fund. A PWC research report indicates that in the slow growth environment productivity gains are paramount, and that plays for the benefit of manufacturers. The report claims that industrial manufacturers can best serve their customers and themselves by designing tools and equipment that improve the efficiency, costs, and performance of factories and other capital projects. The industry profits from innovation strategies that build upon advanced manufacturing concepts and the potential of the industrial Internet. Cemtrex Inc. (NASDAQ: CETX), AMETEK Inc.
