A new report shows China's investment in the general equipment industry increased by 49.4% in 2007.

The Research and Markets' 'China General Equipment Industry Report, 2008' says China's total investment in this industry reached CNY23.41 billion (USD3.4 billion). This growth is 14.6% higher than the growth rate of investment in China's manufacturing industry in the same period.

The output of forklifts in China during 2007 grew by 41.14%.

The report found the production scale of the general equipment industry has not declined despite international anti-dumping cases and the domestic export rebate policy.

Research and Markets' report states investment enthusiasm, production and sales ratios have decreased, and stock has gone up. Production scale of the whole industry will maintain a momentum of stable growth and the price index will continue to rise.

Forkliftaction's JOB MARKET

It’s the year 2000. You’re in front of a boxy beige desktop waiting for the screeching ramblings of your dial-up to reach its finale.

And with web pages loading one image at a time, patience isn’t just a virtue – it’s a requirement!

As clumsy as this early iteration seems now, this technology was the great enabler that allowed Forkliftaction to connect to the industry across the globe.
