Metals CNC Equipment - Continues to be very desirable, particularly 2005 - 2012 machines.
Mining - Used surface mining equipment values are down due to the slump in the coal industry.
Packaging - Packaging and fill equipment strong. Vibrant North American, South American and Carribean Market.
Pulp & Paper - Market for used equipment beginning to show signs of improvement but over capacity still an issue. Late model lumber equipment finding buyers, older assets more difficult to find buyers.
