Switzerland: positive about the market potential

Article Abstract:

The Swiss engineering industry was recovering from the 1992 decision not to join the European Union when the Asian crisis hit sales of key items like textile and energy production machinery. Asia is important to sales growth of the Swiss companies and many have invested heavily in production and research in Asia. The Swiss machinery industry is confident that exports to Asia will soon resume growth. Sales to Japan are increasing.

Potent Potential

Article Abstract:

Drewry Shipping Consultants Ltd predict that the marine terminal industry will expand through at least 2005 because of increased demand for shipping services. Much of this demand is expected to occur in East and southeast Asia, despite the financial problems that have been prevalent of late. The expansion will need to address a predicted 60% increase in terminal business.
