Joy Global Inc., the world’s second-largest maker of mining equipment, expects demand from coal producers in China to gain this year as the economy picks up and energy use increases.
“We have active discussions going on with customers,” Michael Sutherlin, chief executive officer of Milwaukee-based Joy Global, said in a telephone interview yesterday. “We expect in the second half of 2013 to see strong orders out of China. We expect Chinese orders to be up year over year.”
