January '02 Order Comments:

Industrial Automation orders reflect continued widespread restrained spending in the North American and European industrial goods markets.

HVAC orders reflect weak worldwide demand for residential air conditioning and commercial and industrial refrigeration and air conditioning products. Inventory levels at both OEMs and distributors remain low.

Electronics and Telecom orders continue to reflect the broad weakness in the computing and telecom equipment markets.

Appliance and Tools orders primarily reflect weak demand for industrial-related tools, motors and storage products. Consumer related demand has shown recent signs of improvement.

Process orders softened, driven by lower short-cycle maintenance and repair activity. New project award activity, yet to be included in orders, has been strong.
