Assembly Technology Expo 2006 is a unique opportunity to get a close-up look at new assembly equipment, and learn about the latest assembly methods.
Assemblers in the United States will spend $2.73 billion on new assembly equipment and tools in 2006, according to ASSEMBLY magazine's 10th annual capital equipment spending report. It's worth noting that this is the highest total spending projected in the history of our survey, and up 5 percent from 2005. What's more, 34 percent of respondents say they plan to spend more on assembly technology in 2006 than they did in 2005. The average assembler's budget is almost $240,000 and 20 percent of plants expect to spend more than $250,000 for assembly equipment and tools in 2006.
