Besides those articles, our January issue includes a product demand snapshot for Janitorial products and a Datum look at the manufacturing PMI’s progression.

All of that is now available in our January Premium Monthly report, which is now available. Premium subscribers can download it from their Premium Dashboard, and non-subscribers can purchase it here in the MDM Store.

With NAW’s acquisition of MDM in 2024, NAW members now have complementary access to MDM Premium. If you’re an NAW member, you should activate your Premium subscription here if you haven’t already.
