Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Players in the U.S. heavy-manufacturing sector are preparing to build out capacity to better serve major industrial markets, including those for construction, farming and robotics equipment. Industrial Info is tracking $7.4 billion worth of U.S.-based heavy-manufacturing projects that are set to begin construction in the second quarter, including a $5.5 billion battery-manufacturing campus from LG Energy Solution (LGES) (Seoul, South Korea), a subsidiary of LG Corporation; nearly half of the remaining investment value is attributed to projects to develop machinery and equipment that service various industries.

LG's $5.5 billion grassroot battery-manufacturing campus in Queen Creek, Arizona, will produce 27 gigawatt-hours (GWh) per year of cylindrical batteries for electric vehicles (EV) and 16 GWh per year of lithium-iron-phosphate batteries for energy storage. For more information, see March 4, 2024, article - ISM: U.S. Manufacturing Activity Drops in February; subscribers to Industrial Info's Global Market Intelligence (GMI) Industrial Manufacturing Project and Plant databases can learn more from a detailed project report and plant profile.
JCB Manufacturing (Rocester, England) trails only LG in the investment value of its second-quarter kickoffs, although this is attributed entirely to a single project: a $265 million construction equipment-manufacturing plant in San Antonio, Texas, which is designed to produce telescopic handlers and aerial work platforms. In January, a Bexar County commissioner said the county would offer JCB a full tax abatement for 10 years, plus a $5 million reimbursable grant for public infrastructure, according to San Antonio Report. Subscribers can learn more from a detailed project report.
Other companies are expanding active plants that manufacture machinery and equipment, such as Wacker Neuson (Munich, Germany), which aims to increase production at its construction-supply plant in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, by rearranging its assembly lines and equipment. Subscribers can learn more from a detailed project report.
Two manufacturers of farm machinery and equipment aim to expand production facilities in the breadbasket state of Iowa: Kooima AG, which is preparing to add a building to its agricultural-machinery complex in Rock Valley, and Osmundson Manufacturing Company, which plans to expand its disc blade-manufacturing plant in Perry. Both projects are scheduled to wrap up toward the turn of the year. Subscribers can read detailed reports on the Rock Valley and Perry projects.
Some of the companies offering more specialized machinery and equipment include Air Products and Chemicals Incorporated (NYSE:APD) (Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania), which is preparing for a series of upgrades to its hollow-fiber membrane plant in St. Louis, Missouri. The facility caters to biogas and hydrogen recovery needs, as well as the use of nitrogen for the aerospace industry and dehydration products. Subscribers can learn more from a detailed project report.
"This capacity improvement effort will impact product lines such as the PRISM GreenDry membrane dryer and the PRISM GreenSep membrane separator, which provide customers in the biogas industry with dehydration and upgrading solutions that add design flexibility to a customer's biogas system," Air Products said in a press release.
The rise of automation systems in the workforce has become a flashpoint in the U.S. labor market, and two companies that manufacture robotic programs and components are preparing to improve their existing assets. Goshen Engineering Incorporated is preparing for an expansion of its facility in Mount Olive, North Carolina, which caters to the food-production, automotive and electronics markets, while Robert Bosch GmbH (Gerlingen, Germany) is preparing to relocate assets from a facility in Charlotte, North Carolina, which specializes in factory-based automation systems, to another part of the state. Subscribers can read detailed reports on the Mount Olive and Charlotte projects.
