This comes from an article posted by Josh Bays of Site Selection Group

Following the end of the 2015 year, Josh Bay of the Site Selection Group wrote an article that identified trends in the manufacturing industry which occurred over the past year, and how these trends would impact companies and areas for the upcoming year. Looking at projects of several different sizes, the Site Selection Group’s findings closely examine the levels of employment and capital investment that occurred within manufacturing projects across the United States in 2015. According to this data, mid-sized projects in both employment and capital investment had the most activity, with Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing and Plastics Product Manufacturing leading the way in the number of projects and amount of investment. This data is a strong indicator for trends that will continue to occur as we further advance into the 2016 year.
