With the first quarter completed in 2017 we see that orders for metal cutting machine tools are essentially flat
with orders for metal cutting machinery in Eastern Canada down 6% in values and down by 8% in units while in
Western Canada which was severely depressed orders are up by 44% in values and by 43% in units for the same
period in 2016. Orders for 5 axis machines showed considerable growth with vertical machines up by 65% and
horizontal machines up by 71% in values which is an encouraging sign as Canadian Manufacturers invest in higher
tech machinery. Commodity CNC machines such as horizontal spindle lathes were up by 38% while smaller vertical
machining centres were down by 9% in value.
Orders for manual metal cutting machines were down pretty much across the board with values down by 40%
while units were down by 11%.
Orders for CNC Metal Forming Machinery showed spectacular growth for most machine types with values up by 41% and units up by 42% The growth was led by high value laser cutting machinery which was up by 37% in value and 56% in units. Again an encouraging sign that manufacturers are willing to invest in high tech machinery.
Orders for manual metal forming machinery also showed good growth up by 67% in value and 50% in units
