Darex to send bit sharpeners to U.S. troops in Iraq
Industrial drill sharpener Darex was awarded a contract to provide their drill sharpeners to U.S. soldiers in Iraq. Darex will ship the V390 Darex Drill Sharpeners as part of a tool kit to support our soldier’s safety.

“Our servicemen are now getting what they need to help protect them, “said Darex sales manager Lana Hjorten, who worked putting this deal together for more than a year. "This kit is designed to assist with the repair of armor plating on HUMVEE vehicles, as well as the installation of satellite antennas for global positioning systems that allows vehicles to be located and contacted anywhere. Existing communication equipment was basically line-of-sight. With our sharpener, soldiers in the field can easily sharpen their dull drill bits, fix armor plates and make other repairs on their vehicles."

ISM: PMI rises in February
Economic activity in the manufacturing sector grew in February for the 33rd consecutive month, while the overall economy grew for the 52nd consecutive month, according to the latest Manufacturing Report On Business from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM).

"The manufacturing sector gained momentum in February as the new orders, production, employment and inventories indexes contributed to a faster rate of growth in the PMI," said Norbert J. Ore, chair of the ISM Manufacturing Business Survey Committee. "On the down side, the supplier deliveries index slowed, offsetting a portion of the overall improvement. Prices, driven by volatility in energy markets, continue to be a major source of concern for ISM's survey respondents."

The PMI indicates that the manufacturing economy grew in February for the 33rd consecutive month as it registered 56.7 percent, an increase of 1.9 percent compared to January's seasonally adjusted reading of 54.8 percent.

A reading above 50 percent indicates that the manufacturing economy is generally expanding; below 50 percent indicates that it is generally contracting.
