THE ITALIAN INDUSTRY OF MACHINERY, ACCESSORIES AND SPECIAL PRODUCTS FOR GLASS PROCESSING
Compared to the previous year, sales performance has grown continuously since the early part of 2008, and up to the beginning of the last quarter 2008 the outlet sectors appeared quite dynamic almost everywhere. In October our industry also began to suffer the consequences, although to a lesser extent and with a less sudden impact than other machine-building industry sectors, brought about by the worldwide economic crisis, which is expected to continue during most of the year 2009.
In short, the year 2008 which had started out as a year of excellent results for our industry lost, over just a few months, its entire percentage of growth versus 2007. The final balance remains positive, however, as tangible proof the solid nature of this sector, formed for the most part by family businesses managed carefully and always showing remarkable flexibility in meeting customers' needs.
Today this same flexibility is being used to cope with the changing market conditions.
