Data Center and Control Room Furniture And The Potential Benefits

"American industry is dead," say the pessimists. And I cannot deny that certain sectors have been more or less decimated. Yet, one can't help but be inspired when looking at certain sectors that have remained. One such sector in particular is control room furniture manufacturing.

What makes control room furniture an interesting study? Firstly, furniture is what's known as a durable good. And if you didn't already know, durable goods are important economic indicators. When companies are optimistic about the economy, they purchase long-lasting items. And on the other side, low orders for durable goods is probably the result of a company's lack of faith in the economic outlook. In sum, companies buy long-lasting products if they think the economy will be good for the life of those products. More concretely, orders for durable goods is a reliable predictor of gross domestic product growth.

In light of this, I have good news. Furniture factory orders were up by 13% this April compared with last April. There is a reason for comparing orders year-to-year rather than month-to-month; month-to-month is much more volatile. A similar year-to-year comparison shows a comparable double-digit increase in shipments, as well as order backlogs. April could be an anamoly, but the numbers for the first four-month stretch were 5% higher than last year. This growth rate is nothing to sneeze at. Comparatively, durable goods orders over an entire year usually increase or decrease on the scale of tenths of a percent.

I should note here that these numbers are for residential furniture orders. But I think they are a useful metric for deducing the growth of the control room furniture sector. The reason is that durable goods shipments also factor into GDP. Given that shipments in the consumer sector were up 6%, we can assume that the growth trend is relatively generalized.

Looking at the numbers here, it looks as though American industry is in good health. From examining smaller markets like control room furniture, we can spot larger trends and see a basis for continued growth. And we see that this growth is fueled by companies, such as Inracks in Buffalo, NY, who are committed to the concept of American industry
