Sydona inherited a large industrial base from the Kirosocialist period that has struggled to compete in a more liberalised trade environment and has remained largely stagnant despite generous subsidies and protectionist policies. The fortunes of the manufacturing sector have improved mildly since [[the Deluge]] thanks to contracts with the [[Overseas Development Executive]] to provide large quantities of outdated but low-cost agricultural machinery, construction equipment, and chemical fertilisers to promote economic development in Kiravian-controlled areas of [[Crona]]. | Sydona inherited a large industrial base from the Kirosocialist period that has struggled to compete in a more liberalised trade environment and has remained largely stagnant despite generous subsidies and protectionist policies. It is perhaps best knowns for its manufacturing enterprises focusing on agricultural machinery, including combine harvesters, forage harvesters, and grain headers. The fortunes of the manufacturing sector have improved mildly since [[the Deluge]] thanks to contracts with the [[Overseas Development Executive]] to provide large quantities of outdated but low-cost agricultural machinery, construction equipment, and chemical fertilisers to promote economic development in Kiravian-controlled areas of [[Crona]], contributing to the mechanization of local agriculture. | ||
Sydona is a major exporter of {{wp|paving stones}} and {{wp|curbstones}}, benefitting greatly from the post-Kirosocialist suburban development boom in [[Great Kirav]] and the growth of "air-conditioner colonies" in lowland [[Æonara]] which have spurred a surge in demand for patios. | Sydona is a major exporter of {{wp|paving stones}} and {{wp|curbstones}}, benefitting greatly from the post-Kirosocialist suburban development boom in [[Great Kirav]] and the growth of "air-conditioner colonies" in lowland [[Æonara]] which have spurred a surge in demand for patios. | ||

The aerospace manufacturer AK AvMax is one of the better-performing state-owned heavy industrial firms, and the leading industrial employer in the outer islands outside of the mineral and energy sectors. Under Kirosocialism AvMax was initially tasked with building utility aricraft (mainly for agricultural use) and military transports. It would later concentrate primarily on large cargo planes, including {{wp|strategic airlifters}}, producing replacement components for smaller passenger and military aircraft as a secondary activity. AvMax {{wp|corporatised}} its governance after Kiravian Reunification but remained state-owned, and diversified its operations to include a wider range of smaller craft, aviation components, and services. In addition to fulfilling Kiravian defence contracts, AvMax sells utility aircraft primarily to less developed countries. Since the late 2010s AD, several of its component-building subsidiaries have faced lawsuits for {{wp|patent infringement}}, most of which have been lost or settled unfavourably by AvMax. Both foreign and Kiravian competitors have alleged that selling patented aviation components on the global black market is a major part of the firm's business model. | The aerospace manufacturer AK AvMax is one of the better-performing state-owned heavy industrial firms, and the leading industrial employer in the outer islands outside of the mineral and energy sectors.

Other major heavy industrial enterprises that have remained state-owned include the Asturiupol Steel Works, the ZydTalav family of mining equipment and haul-truck builders, and the Krapovo Motor Works. Unlike AvMax, these firms mainly serve the Sydonan market and are reliant on protectionist policies, contracts with other SOEs, and toher forms of state aid to remain viable. | |||
