SUGAR LAND--October 6, 2021--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Economic activity in the U.S. heavy manufacturing sector grew in September, according to the Institute for Supply Management (ISM), pointing to a strong sector expansion and continued U.S. economic recovery following this year's easing of pandemic-related lockdowns. But mounting problems related to the supply chain have caused headaches for manufacturers and consumers alike, and companies likely will have to bolster their maintenance operations at existing facilities to deal with the current environment. Industrial Info is tracking more than 100 maintenance-related projects set to begin through the end of the year--and more than 300 set to begin over the next six months--in the U.S. heavy-manufacturing sector.

Within this article: Details on some of the maintenance-related projects in key markets of the U.S. heavy-manufacturing sector over the next six months, including those from major companies such as John Deere & Company (NYSE:DE), CNH Industrial N.V., The Timken Company (NYSE:TKR), VT LeeBoy Incorporated and Singapore Technologies Engineering Limited.
