The Repair and Maintenance industry

The Repair and Maintenance industry encompasses businesses that specialize in restoring and maintaining the functionality of various products and equipment. These businesses play a crucial role in extending the lifespan of valuable assets, from everyday household items to complex industrial machinery.

What businesses are included

This industry covers a wide range of repair services, including electronics repair, auto repair, appliance repair, and industrial equipment maintenance. It also includes businesses that specialize in sharpening tools and providing welding services. The key commonality is the focus on fixing or maintaining existing items, not manufacturing new ones.

When targeting the Repair and Maintenance industry on LinkedIn, your search will automatically cover all related sub-industries. To maximize the relevance of your leads, you may want to exclude certain sub-industries that don’t align with your ideal customer profile.
