   Exciting News! The Wall Street Journal cited the MAFSI Business Barometer (MBB) in an article published May 27, 2011.

 The article, North America Food-Equipment Sales Warmer In 2011, But Not Yet Sizzling, cites the Q1/11 MAFSI Business Barometer results in the lead paragraph alongside data from Technomic and other food equipment manufacturers.

Please note: There is one correction to the WSJ article. The second paragraph states "36 straight quarters of sales contraction." It should be 12 straight quarters of sales contraction (three years).
