Deere to expand manufacturing capacity for hydraulic cylinders

Deere & Co. has announced plans to invest $47 million to expand manufacturing capacity in its Moline, Ill., cylinder operations, where the company builds hydraulic cylinders used in its agricultural, construction, and forestry machines sold around the world.

The investment will result in significant upgrades in machining tools at the cylinder operations but will not require an addition to the physical building. No jobs will be added as a direct result of the investment.
