The World Machine Tool Survey is conducted by Gardner Intelligence every year at the beginning of the year, usually resulting in a new report available in April/May.
Gardner Intelligence reaches out directly to national/continental machine tool associations for data on their country’s machine tool production and consumption. We then marry that data with import/export data from the International Trade Commission and macroeconomic data from Moody’s to provide a full picture of what a given country’s machine tool economy looks like.
