May `01 Order Comments: ----------------------- Industrial Automation orders reflect continued softness in the U.S. industrial goods markets, unfavorable currency comparisons and moderated demand in Europe and other international markets. HVAC orders reflect broad weakness in the supermarket and food service markets, cool U.S. spring weather which impacts demand for air conditioning products, as well as soft demand in Europe. Asia demand remains strong. Electronics and Telecom orders continue to reflect the broad weakness in the computing and telecom equipment markets. Appliance and Tools orders reflect continued weakness in motor and appliance components demand, along with moderate overall declines in the tools area. 2 Process orders reflect the growing success of PlantWeb and Emerson Performance Solutions, widespread strength among control, valve and measurement products, and overall increases in capital spending by customers in select markets.
