In June, John Deere set the record straight about its manufacturing status in the U.S.
“Let’s clear the air. John Deere is not shutting down U.S. manufacturing. In fact, it’s quite the opposite,” the company said in a notice on its website.
The notice goes on to highlight Deere’s recent commitment to invest $20 billion into American manufacturing over the next 10 years.
“Over the next decade, we will continue to make significant investments in our core U.S. market. This underscores our dedication to innovation and growth while staying cost-competitive in a global market,” John May, chairman and CEO of John Deere, says in the notice.
This response from Deere came after an MSN article titled “John Deere Freezes US Manufacturing in Unprecedented Shutdown" surfaced.
