3. Overview In general, the major machine tool-producing countries in the world began to gradually recover in 2010, including orders from Germany, the United States, and Japan. As a result, major producers of machine tools in Asia, the European Union and North America all believe that production and exports in 2010 will increase substantially from the previous year.

In the first half of 2010, the machine tool industry in Taiwan has rebounded sharply. Currently, orders have been completed in the third quarter, and the industry is taking orders for the fourth quarter. The capacity utilization rate and the number of employees have also shown an increasing trend, indicating that the industry is rebounding sharply. However, the orders currently received by companies are still in urgent orders and short orders, and manufacturers must have the ability to respond quickly and deliver goods.
