LG Manufacturing Facility in China
JLG Industries broke ground for a new manufacturing facility in Tianjin, China. It was another step in parent company Oshkosh Corp.'s strategic business initiatives to meet the demands of a global economy and the growing demand for aerial work platforms in the Chinese and Asian markets. The facility will produce JLG access equipment specifically for the Asian market. JLG currently has manufacturing operations in Pennsylvania; Ohio; North Dakota; Maasmechelen, Belgium; Tonneins, France; and Medias, Romania.
