Tarmac Heavy Machinery

Tarmac Heavy Machinery is a major corporation that has a monopoly on industrial machines. Their influence is widespread because they provide economic industrial machines that for the most part get the job done. Many corporations found they needed a large amount of machines and the way Tarmac had marketed their product was based on a formula that targeted these consumers. While other corporations had more efficient machinery, it was more economic to purchase two of Tarmac's machines than one of the more efficient machines.

A quote from a consumer of Tarmac,

''One machine would produce 1,250 over a certain amount of time. Their competetors would produce 2,000. But the thing was, is that the Tarmac machine would cost half the machine that produces 2,000. So it would be more economic to buy two, therefore bringing production to 2,500 for the same price. It took a moment for other companies to try to copy Tarmac's formula, but by that time it was too late. ''

Tarmac was able to strike a deal with major raw material harvesters and exchange their equipment for special deals on the raw material; this relation multiplied Tarmac's profit margins.
