Good morning! So much of today's business climate is affected by tariffs and economic worries. We checked in with the organizers of NPE to see how booth sales are progressing for the 2027 event amid the uncertainty. We also report on industry reactions to possible further tariff increases on machinery and robots.

On the Machinery Minutes podcast, Editor Ron Shinn discusses his visit to Cavalier Tool & Manufacturing, and what he's looking forward to at K 2025.

We have a report on an upgrade to Erema's ReFresher odor reducer and news from LS Mtron.
