The exports promote the growth in the European industry of machine-tool

The export out of europa of the producers of machines-tool registered a strong growth in 2011, reaching the 20,8 million euros, which is more than a fourth above 2010. In the first quarter of 2012, the volume of asked machines-tools of Europe followed increasing, according to data published by Cecimo that, in spite of the figures of requests of the following quarters, expects that the production of machines-tool grow more than 6% in 2012.

The low consumption of machines-tool reflects the cautela of the European companies, as well as the low activity of production, especially in the south of Europe. This factor, added to the scepticism of the directors of the companies manufacturers, does to think that the European consumption will contract around 77 million euros in 2012 in comparison with the previous year.

On the other hand, the exports of Cecimo alanzaron the 16,7 million euros in 2011, near of the record established in 2008. The stable planned production in 2012 bases in a solid growth of the exports, whose success confirms the competitiveness of the machines-European tools.
