Office equipment & supplies industry
Article Abstract:
Double-digit earnings are being seen by several companies in the office equipment and supplies industry, such as Pitney-Bowes and Xerox, and prospects for the industry in 1999 are generally sound. The retail sector of the industry has also seen accelerated sales since 1998 with the opening of many new stores, but the business forms segment does face several obstacles such as electronic data interchange. Investors need to select the most timely stocks with strong positions within their business areas.

Office equipment & supplies industry
Article Abstract:
Corporate restructuring, foreign market penetration, and the introduction of digital products have led to good economic conditions for the office supply and equipment industry since 1993. Office supply distributors and retailers are also thriving, but the increased use of laser printers has led to declining business forms sales. Investors need to concentrate only on those stocks which are timely and have strong leadership positions.
