north america<br />
the oeM markets for air Controls’ products were highly reflective of the increased<br />
building rates taking place in north america during the 2010 and <strong>2011</strong> periods. Sales<br />
involved a significant year-by-year increase in revenue when the totals of these product<br />
groups are combined.<br />
aftermarket sales gained volume, which is reflected in steady economic recovery<br />
taking place in north america. this trend is also helped by the fact that fleets purchased<br />
fewer new vehicles in 2008/2009, resulting in older vehicles requiring more service,<br />
although this is somewhat offset by the fact that vehicles travel fewer miles during recessionary<br />
periods. during <strong>2011</strong>, the new products for air Controls in north america were<br />
the dolly and trailer panel, along with the BMS (brake monitoring system).
