HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., Feb 27, 2012 -- GE Capital, Americas has launched a new quarterly Industry Research Update for the lawn, golf and turf equipment industries in advance of two important industry events, the Outdoor Power Equipment and Engine Service Association (OPEESA) Annual Meeting taking place Feb. 26-29 in Phoenix, and the Golf Industry Show (GIS) taking place Feb. 29-March 1 in Las Vegas.
GE Capital will be actively participating at both events. Additionally, OPEESA attendees are invited to hear Micki Turner, a human resources director with GE Capital, speak about ownership succession planning on Monday, Feb. 27, 10:15 AM-noon. That will be followed by a panel discussion with industry leaders.
The initial research report shows that the outlook for these industries is increasingly positive. "From a macro point of view, general economic and consumer indicators are steadily improving, though from weak levels," said Serena Tse, a senior vice president and industry research manager with GE Capital. "Due to the mild winter weather in the Northeast, inventory turns have accelerated and financing volume is growing."
The full Lawn, Golf & Turf Equipment Industry Research Update is available here:
GE Capital, Americas provides inventory and retail financing that allows lawn, golf and turf dealers to stock, market and sell a wide variety of equipment and related products from manufacturers.
