CSW Industrials, Inc. (CSW)

HVAC products maker with a Vietnam plant. Read November 9, 2026 from the annual report for the period ending March 31, 2026, filed May 26, 2026. Ranked 175 of the 275 Industrials companies read so far, by the share within reach now.

The filing states approximately 2,700 employees at March 31, 2026, about 1,200 of them at its Vietnam facility, and describes HVAC, plumbing and building products across three segments, so the sheet metal products lead at fabricated metal with the sealants and chemicals and the pumps beside them by description.

The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.

What follows from the reading

Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 27% now, 31% at the end of 2027, 32% at the end of 2028, 32% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 32% desk work, 13% people work and 54% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 68% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 27% becomes checking a model's work and 5% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.
