SUGAR LAND--January 18, 2016--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Manufacturers and companies from other industries in North America are taking a cautious approach to first-quarter 2016 amid tepid markets, and are likely to remain cautious going into the second quarter if conditions don't change, according to an executive with ATS (Advanced Technology Services) (Peoria, Illinois), a provider of factory maintenance services and information technology (IT) solutions. Mike Waltrip, vice president of industrial parts services for ATS, said that clients ATS supports have indicated most markets are flat, if not down. At best, there is "really moderate growth--nothing to get excited about," he said.
