Economic Stimulus Act Helps U.S. Processors Who Purchase and Install Before 2009; for Non-U.S. Processors, U.S. Built Equipment is More Attractively Priced Than Ever, Says Company
Woonsocket, RI (April 8, 2008) - Parkinson Technologies will be exhibiting at the upcoming INDEX 2008 exhibition in Geneva, Switzerland (April 15-18), promoting its line of web handling, winding, and plastics orientation processing machinery for nonwovens applications. As the world's leading nonwovens exhibition, INDEX is held once every three years. It is the leading industry showcase for all major market innovations.
Parkinson's message at this year's INDEX exhibition is clear: for nonwovens processors considering new machinery purchases, the time to buy is now.
"For U.S. processors, the Economic Stimulus Act that was signed into law in February provides unprecedented savings opportunities," said Peter Termyn, President and CEO of Parkinson Technologies. "There are huge investment incentives for converters who buy and install new equipment before 2009." These incentives include 50% bonus depreciation on new equipment purchased in 2008 and installed before Jan. 1, 2009.
It's also a good time for the rest of the world's processors to buy, according to Parkinson, and it also has to do with the U.S. economy. "Our pricing has become very attractive to European and Asian processors, particularly because of the current situation with the weak U.S. dollar," said Termyn.
Parkinson encourages prospective buyers to visit their stand at INDEX 2008 to discuss these incentives in more detail.
