You may not know that the strength of the United States comes from its top industrial strength. Who are the eight major American industrial groups that influence the world? If the United States recognizes itself as second, it is estimated that no country dares to recognize it as first. Although the United States' per capita GDP is not the highest in the world, the United States' economic strength, scientific and technological strength and education level are the world's first. These are the foundations that support this country. Many of the companies dominate the global market and have a huge impact on the world, such as Walmart , Apple , Facebook, etc. Today I will take you to learn about American companies and see which companies in the United States have the strongest.
mentioned Boeing , most people think of civil aircraft such as Boeing 747, Boeing 787, etc. These are just the "tip of the iceberg". In fact, the aviation empire created by Boeing is beyond everyone's imagination, and Boeing is also one of the world's top civil aircraft manufacturers. Even if you say it changes human travel habits, it is not an exaggeration to say that it has changed human travel habits. Now we have long been used to traveling by plane, but the passenger capacity and flight distance of early aircraft were not ideal. It was not until 1955 that Boeing's first jetliner 707 was delivered to Pan American Airlines, which opened the era of jets in the aviation industry, which enabled people to easily conduct long-distance and high-speed space travel.
In addition to being the overlord of civil aviation aircraft , this company also occupies a place in both military and aerospace fields. In terms of military military, the main force of the US military is military helicopters. The Apache fighter was developed by Boeing . The private aircraft of the US President was also modified from the Boeing 77 series aircraft, which can resist nuclear radiation and shock waves, and is also equipped with anti-surface-to-air missiles. In addition, Boeing has also cooperated closely with Lhasa and participated in a number of space programs, which can be called the American aerospace giant.
GE is a very awesome company, how awesome? Let me put it this way, this company can basically meet the entire industrial system of , a medium-developed country in European , which is an absolute overlord in many fields. Their business scope includes avionics equipment, power energy, digital engineering and finance. In terms of total revenue, General Electric ranks 33rd largest company in the United States. This company has a strong historical origin. One of its founders is Edison, a household inventor. It can almost be said that they used light and nuclear power to promote the development of this country in American history. The earliest products of General were light bulbs and electrical appliances, and later became a pioneer in medical imaging technology in the medical industry.
However, this company's halo has faded in recent years. First, it was severely hit by the financial crisis , and then it was kicked out of the Dow Jones Industrial Average in 2018. It was not until 2021 that it split its business into three companies. As for why GE gradually declined, it was related to their excessive business expansion. As a result, it suffered losses because of the overload of talents and company systems. To put it Bill Gates' statement, GE is like a textbook for improper business management. Now that the division is split, the future development remains to be seen.
The main reason why American technology is so developed is that it owns the best land in the world. The terrain is very smooth. Although the land area is the same as China, it has 3 billion mu of cultivated land, while China only has 1.8 billion mu. This leads to the United States not having to worry about food at all. For American agricultural workers, no one doesn't know the company Deer . It is the world's largest agricultural machinery and equipment manufacturer. Its products are mainly divided into three categories, namely agricultural equipment, construction and forestry equipment and financial services.
In terms of agriculture, Deer's tractor and harvester are well-known far and wide. In terms of construction, they have bulldozers and trucks, and in terms of finance, only agricultural and industrial financing services, which is a legend in the United States. This company was founded in 1837. The founder John Deer was a blacksmith when he was young. He was extremely smart. He observed that the cast iron plows used by American farmers when he was ploughing at that time could easily stick to soil, which caused the farmers to plow the fields and insert soil while plowing the fields. The efficiency was very low. So he switched to steel to make plows and adjust them to a better shape. As a result, he successfully solved the problems of farmers. Therefore, he was known as a man who changed American agriculture and was synonymous with American farming technology.
There are several models in the world that are considered giant grades. One of them is called 797F, which is one of the largest trucks in the world. The transportation volume is nearly 400 tons and the height is seven meters, which is two stories high. Generally, vehicles are like adults looking at children next to him. This 797F is from the world's top industrial machinery manufacturer Caterpillar . Its products include engineering machinery for agriculture, construction and mining. The engineering machinery such as bulldozers, road rollers, excavators you can imagine are all within the garage of Caterpillar. Caterpillar is known as the world's largest construction and mining equipment manufacturer. Most of the mining and engineering heavy machinery in the United States are their products.
Caterpillar was founded in 1925 and first started with agricultural land tractors because their tractors are so easy to use. The company is growing rapidly, and even during the Great Depression of , sales are increasing. During the World War II, Caterpillar was responsible for helping the US Navy to manufacture diesel engine , further establishing its position as the strongest tool heavy machinery manufacturer in the United States.
The United States is not only the most economically developed country in the world, but also a super military power. The United States has such a company with a market value of only one-sixth of Tencent , but it can compete with the big powers. It is the world's largest military-industry enterprise Lockheed Martin. While everyone is desperately chasing the fifth-generation fighter jets, someone connects the most cutting-edge weapons into one, and when everyone is doing 5G 6G is arguing endlessly, but some people use Musk's "Starlink" to form the aerospace Internet. When everyone is talking about the performance of a single equipment, some people are ahead of the road of the development of the combat system.
To put it into an old saying, military-industrial enterprises have always been the pioneers in studying combat systems. Only advanced ideas can promote advanced military industry. Although the technological progress of single-equipment is important, the supporting promotion of the combat system can win future wars! Lockheed Martin is such a company. A single company enjoys 30% of the US military's budget and accounts for 40% of the world's arms market. Its annual sales are even the sum of the 50 military-industrial companies behind it. At the international strategic level, its comprehensive strength can even compete with an ordinary big country. The US military's F-117, F-22, F-35 are all products under the company. Los Angeles' proud products such as the U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, SR-71 high-altitude high-speed reconnaissance aircraft, etc., are countless. Lockheed Mart’s business has expanded beyond the earth with space warfare. They formed an alliance with Boeing to build American space planes and deploy satellite missions. As long as the United States continues to maintain its military strength, it is not difficult to imagine that it will remain one of the most important industrial groups in the United States in the future.
Compared with the companies introduced above, the business of Honeywell looks more complicated on the books. If you spread out their product and service list, you will find that they have sales from residential buildings to walkie-talkies to aircraft cockpit equipment. Warehouses, transport belts and precision sensors are their hot-selling products. They have hundreds of products and services. In this era of popular and specialized, they still operate in a group style and have very good revenue. They are one of the top 100 companies in the United States. If you look at Honeywell's financial report carefully, you will find that the aerospace department is their main force, and they are a large contractor of the United States military and military, contracting missile drive systems and other businesses.
Although Honeywell's business is very complex now, their products started are quite simple, and they are electronically adjusted thermometers used to regulate indoor temperatures. After they continued to acquire other companies, Honeywell began to enter different fields. What's amazing is that they are doing well. For example, after they acquired the fire alarm company, they soon became the most well-known fire protection provider in North America. It can be said that the strength of this company lies in its strong operating structure.
In general, the fundamental reason why American technology is so developed is their civilization and culture, the rich creative ability of the American people, they are good at learning and practice. Therefore, the United States' technology is the most developed in the world.
