Metal beds strong despite global market swings
Article Abstract:
Makers of metal beds continue to report a strong demand for their products despite the prevailing uncertainty in the global economy. The Asian economic crisis, a lack of shipping containers and a shaky US stock market has not caused a decrease in orders for metal beds, prompting producers to predict a continuing boom in the market. Manufacturers note that inventories continue to be on the low level and that consumers appear to be more receptive to new models, new designs and new entrants into the market.
