August `01 Order Comments:
Industrial Automation orders reflect significant declines in the North American and Asian industrial goods markets, unfavorable currency comparisons and soft demand in Europe and Latin America.
HVAC orders reflect weak U.S. demand for residential air conditioning and commercial and industrial refrigeration and air conditioning products, as well as declining demand in Europe. Asia demand remains strong.
Electronics and Telecom orders continue to reflect the broad weakness in the computing and telecom equipment markets.
Appliance and Tools orders reflect continued weakness in motor and appliance components demand, along with continued soft demand in the tools area.
2
Process orders reflect strong growth in PlantWeb and Emerson Performance Solutions, widespread strength among control, valve and measurement products, and overall increases in capital spending by customers in key end markets.
On a single-month basis, all segments excluding Process Control posted improved order comparisons in August versus the June and July months, as did Emerson in total.
