Exhibit A - a recovering machine building industry

If there’s one thing the recent PPMA show (NEC, Birmingham) clearly demonstrated, it has to be the continuing robust health of our industry. Showcasing the latest in processing and packaging machinery, robotics and industrial vision systems, the event drew a large turnout on all three days. MachineBuilding.net is seeing similar positivity right across its business, as the industry emerges from undeniably tough times. The need for outstanding solutions to challenging issues has not gone away!

With best regards
