Sales in the third quarter dragged down the turnover of manufacturers of machinery and equipment for ceramics: this was reported by the Acimac study center (the association of Italian manufacturers in the sector), according to which in the first nine months of the year the volume of business remains at the levels reached in 2012, while in the third quarter it grew by 15,7%.
A leap mainly due to foreign markets, where companies in the sector sell 80% of their production. The majority of entrepreneurs in the sample analyzed by Acimac also expect business growth on international markets, against a stable trend on the domestic market.
