I have actually noticed exactly this since I started working in that machine shop.
We make transmissions for a completely separate car company.
We are the prime manufacturer for a certain lawnmower companies gearboxes.
We have had a lot of really random stuff being made by us (one of our big machines spent the whole week making fire hydrants).
Just this week, we had a major tractor maker coming through inspecting our facility because they were interested in us making parts for them.
Other than the constant of that lawnmower gearbox and the car transmissions, we get all kinds of companies ordering from us that have nothing to do with each other. The only unifying force is "We need these parts made out of ductile iron. You can cut ductile iron and your machines meet our specifications. Here is the order."
Yeah, and that's basically what's going to continue to happen. The economic complexity and growth is going to primarily come from B2B transactions to make better products for consumers IF AND ONLY IF the government could take their dick out of the economy's ass for like 5 minutes.
