November 5, 2008 - An article by David Pett in yesterday’s Financial Post, “Wheels coming off equipment stocks,” quoted expert opinion on the prospects for construction equipment stocks.
This past summer saw the passing of two men, Jack Cewe of Coquitlam, B.C. and Ian Jennings, P. Eng., of Oakville, Ont., whose outstanding leadership in the Canadian aggregates industry along with a deep commitment to both their family and their community over many decades won’t soon be forgotten.
Given the recent apocalyptic descriptions of the U.S. financial crisis, one might think the end is indeed nigh with terms such as “turmoil”, “meltdown”, “cataclysm” “19/9” and “disaster” in daily use across all media.
Oct 27, 2008 - Take a few minutes to look at the digital version of Aggregates & Roadbuilding Magazine, just to the right of this column. This digital issue includes our 23rd Annual Buyers’ Guide, Canada’s only directory of aggregates and roadbuilding equipment, machinery and wear components.
October 12, 2008 - According to the Ontario Stone Sand & Gravel Association (OSSGA), over 440 tonnes of aggregate are used in the construction of every house. With that in mind, aggregate producers may take some comfort from housing starts data released by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC).
September 24, 2008 - A new regulation for the construction industry in Canada’s biggest employment market took effect on September 1, 2008. The regulation relates to return to work and re-employment, promising fairness and clarity for both construction employers and injured workers.
Exports of U.S.-made construction machinery gained 24 percent at mid-year 2008 compared to the first half of 2007, for a total of more than $10 billion dollars worth of equipment shipped to global markets, according to data released by the Milwaukee, Wisconsin based Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM).
2007 saw much debate on the concept of “decoupling” and more recently “recoupling” between the U.S. and other major economies.
