Heavy Manufacturing Force behind the industrial world that produces: Machinery Machinery Transportation products Transportation products Building materials Building materials Tools Tools Metal products Metal products Vehicles Vehicles Rubber products Rubber products......

Heavy Manufacturing U.S. Historical growth Industry first grew with availability of raw materials - near shipping lanes of the Great Lakes Industry first grew with availability of raw materials - near shipping lanes of the Great Lakes As more efficient transportation grew, the industry spread around the nation As more efficient transportation grew, the industry spread around the nation

Heavy Industry Four Primary Sub-Divisions 1. Construction & Farm Equipment 2. Industrial Machinery 3. Metal production 4. Motor Vehicles

Construction & Farm Equipment Number of farms are decreasing Number of farms are decreasing Size of farms increasing Size of farms increasing Need efficient – more productive farm and construction equipment Need efficient – more productive farm and construction equipment Domestic equipment production is down due to foreign competition Domestic equipment production is down due to foreign competition

Industrial Machinery is Mostly automated machinery that: move, shape, package, cut, heat, and attach manufactured products Mostly automated machinery that: move, shape, package, cut, heat, and attach manufactured products Strong foreign competition Strong foreign competition

Metal Production Steel, Aluminum, Silver, Pots and Pans, Girders, Electrical Wire…. Steel, Aluminum, Silver, Pots and Pans, Girders, Electrical Wire…. Dependent upon other sectors such as automobile production Dependent upon other sectors such as automobile production Foreign competition Foreign competition

Motor Vehicles U.S. - largest producer U.S. - largest producer Motor Vehicles make up a large part of Heavy Manufacturing Motor Vehicles make up a large part of Heavy Manufacturing Competition from foreign markets Competition from foreign markets Some foreign auto makers produce autos in the U.S. Some foreign auto makers produce autos in the U.S.
