As quoted in Plastics Today:

‘John Effmann, Director of Sales and Marketing, of extruder and component supplier, ENTEK (Lebanon, OR), noted that overall “2012 has not been like 2011 was,” with activity slowing in terms of units, but overall business strong due to the company’s turnkey offerings and hopes for a strong finish. “We’re hoping that our quote levels, and the various things we’re chasing, mean business will be better,” Effmann told Plastics Today. “The second half of 2011 was better than the first half, and we’re hoping the same happens in 2012.”
