Igniting the spark of knowledge
In the ever-evolving landscape of industrial manufacturing, RTX Corporation and Illinois Tool Works Inc. (ITW) stand as titans. Over the past decade, these companies have showcased resilience and growth, albeit with distinct trajectories. From 2014 to 2023, RTX Corporation's revenue surged by approximately 6%, peaking in 2023 with a remarkable 69 billion USD.

The year 2020 marked a challenging period for both, with RTX witnessing a 27% dip, while ITW saw a 14% decline, reflecting the global economic downturn.
