This new revenue record was preceded by a substantial growth rate of 6.1 percent in 2016, primarily a result of high demand from China and a 10.1 percent stronger exchange rate for the Japanese yen against the US dollar.  [Read more…] about Record-breaking revenues projected for the linear motion products market
