Read MoreHide Full Article

Milwaukee, WI based Joy Global Inc. manufactures surface and underground mining equipment for extraction of coal, copper, iron ore, oil sands, gold and other mineral resources. The company also offers a wide range of value-added after-market services aimed at enhancing reliability and optimizing the work-life of machineries.

It has equipment manufacturing or sales and services facilities in more than 20 countries including the U.S., Canada, Brazil, Chile, South Africa, England, Poland, Russia, India and China. Joy Global now reports results in two segments: Underground Mining Machinery (UMM) and Surface Mining Equipment (SME). In fiscal years 2015, 2014 and 2013, nearly 68%, 69% and 72% of Joy Global’s respective sales, were derived from outside the United States.

Business conditions continue to be tough for Joy Global, primarily due to a slower-than-expected recovery in the global economy and a supply glut in the commodity markets. Joy Global expects to benefit from its cost-saving and restructuring initiatives.
