The Gardner Business Index (GBI) by Gardner Intelligence is an indicator of the current state of composites fabricating considering survey responses regarding new orders, production, backlog, employment, exports and supplier deliveries. The October GBI shows the composites fabrication market contracted in October slightly from the previous month, but individual data points — including new orders, production, prices received and future business outlook — improved (were more positive).

Moldmaking Activity Slows its Slide in August Despite ongoing contraction, the latest data shows signs of resilience in the moldmaking sector. According Gardner Intelligence's August's GBI, the market is still shrinking but at a slower pace than recent months. Business expectations remain cautiously optimistic, though improvement is coming more gradually. While production saw a slight uptick, contractions in new orders, employment, exports, and supplier deliveries continue to impact the overall index. Employment, in particular, reversed its three-month improvement streak, falling by two points.
