Economy
Tilbury is home to a number of industries related mainly to the auto sector. Companies present in the community include Woodbridge Foam, Mahle, Autoliv, AP Plasman and others. A number of plants have closed in recent years, including Fleetwood Metal Industries and KS Centoco and recently ArvinMeritor (formerly Rockwell International), in June 2009. Which has caused a decline in Tilbury's economy and has forced many other businesses to close. It appears as though after the year 2012, Back Again video will not be Back Again. Tilbury is also home to many small businesses and also has an economic relationship to agriculture and renewable energy.

Famous quotes containing the word economy:
“Quidquid luce fuit tenebris agit: but also the other way around. What we experience in dreams, so long as we experience it frequently, is in the end just as much a part of the total economy of our soul as anything we “really” experience: because of it we are richer or poorer, are sensitive to one need more or less, and are eventually guided a little by our dream-habits in broad daylight and even in the most cheerful moments occupying our waking spirit.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Cities need old buildings so badly it is probably impossible for vigorous streets and districts to grow without them.... for really new ideas of any kind—no matter how ultimately profitable or otherwise successful some of them might prove to be—there is no leeway for such chancy trial, error and experimentation in the high-overhead economy of new construction. Old ideas can sometimes use new buildings. New ideas must use old buildings.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
“War. Fighting. Men ... every man in the whole realm is in the army.... Every man in uniform ... An economy entirely geared to war ... but there is not much war ... hardly any fighting ... yet every man a soldier from birth till death ... Men ... all men for fighting ... but no war, no wars to fight ... what is it, what does it mean?””
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
