Manufacturing 2014 - January news posts are full of predictions for the upcoming year.  This year the posts are positive.  They say companies are moving forwards with plans to renovate and expand.  Corporate Executives are giving the green light to projects that have been put on the back burner.  The trickle down effect to small companies means more business.  Lucifer Furnaces will chime in on the rosy outlook.. new furnaces orders come in steadily from companies small and large, both production and research facilities. Customers are keeping up with maintenance of their furnaces and ovens by replacing heating elements, thermocouples, etc...  Signs are it will be a good year!
