Deere

RANK84

A staple of American manufacturing for nearly 200 years, Illinois-based Deere makes agricultural and construction machinery as well as diesel engines and lawn care equipment. In 2021, the company posted 24% year-over-year revenue growth. Profits jumped, too, with demand for its machinery snapping back as the global economy rebounded. Deere also smoothed its labor outlook for the near future by reaching a six-year labor agreement with the United Auto Workers union in November 2021, ending a five-week strike. After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Deere suspended shipments of machinery to Russia and Belarus.
