However, the order book is spread over a longer period and there are clear signs that the market is calming down. Customers' working conditions are reasonably good around the world, but investment activity has declined. The same situation can be observed in the demand for used machines.

The operational performance of the factory is excellent and the availability of parts is generally good. Source
