Spring is upon us, with accompanying warmer temperatures and more daylight hours to brighten our outlook for the business of FES. But we don’t need to go outdoors to see the signs of a pent-up recovery – it’s all around us, including our own data.
At our publishing manufacturers' direction, we updated 375,000 products in our database in the first quarter, an all-time record for AQ. It tells us that manufacturers are gearing up for much more activity. In fact, on NAFEM's March 31st webcast, several manufacturers reported Q1 volume exceeding expectations, including Rob Connelly, CEO of Henny Penny, current NAFEM President, and our guest on AQ's upcoming State of the Industry webinar.
