We held this year’s Ashton Report E&S Market Forecast Sept. 10. We hope you were there. But if you missed it, you can still buy the entire forecast package including all the PowerPoints and access to video recordings of all the presentations. Parts Town was once again the exclusive sponsor of this annual event.
The forecast provided in-depth analysis and an overview of trends driving the foodservice equipment and supplies market. It included our hard-number forecasts of E&S industry growth and lots more.
Our guest speakers addressed issues including operator trends, materials pricing trends, logistics and supply chain trends. Parts Town’s Colten Kohler offered insights into how its initiatives help operators avoid costing equipment downtime. David Henkes from Technomic, Mike Posternak from MAFSI, Joe Grabowski from R.W. Baird, Nichole Bastin from Metal Miner, consultant Peter Backman from the UK, and David Wasserman of SPG Inc. covered the latest market data and trends. John Muldowney, my forecast partner since 2000, once again lent his insight.
