Overview

The 2,900 industrial machinery manufacturers in the US produce the machines required to make other products. These can range from relatively simple mechanical modules that perform a single function to complex computer-controlled machines that perform multiple processing functions. Key customer markets are woodworking, metals, plastics, paper, textiles, bookbinding, printing, food, and semiconductor production.

Dependence On Exports

Exports account for about 67% of US industrial machinery manufacturers’ revenue and create additional risks for manufacturers.
