WOODWORKING TECHNOLOGY: “BACK TO NORMAL” CONTINUES

The quarterly survey by the Studies office of Acimall, the association of Italian woodworking and furniture technology manufacturers, reaffirmed the expected and inevitable return to a normal situation, after of period of exponential growth of orders and turnover.

In the April-June period of this year, orders recorded a 17.8 percent reduction versus the same period of 2022, resulting from an 18.7 percent decrease in orders from abroad and a 13.8 percent decrease in domestic orders. This result replicates the trend of the previous four months, all negative, and brings the general industry index back to 2019 levels. So, back to normal after the pandemic-driven downturn and the subsequent recovery that benefited companies with unprecedented growth rates in the recent decades.
