Perhaps, you do not understand my question. I know that some words in singular, e.g. family, are used as plurals: My family are interested in...
Is it the same for enterprise, company etc. in my particular phrases?

The enterprise introduces, etc. But I don't know what "pursues revamp" means.

Raymott, thank you for your answer. Particular thanks for your remark on "pursues revamp". I think it would be better to render the phrase as follows:
At the enterprise the facilities are being upgraded, advanced technologies are being introduced, and investment projects are being implemented.

Yes, that sounds OK.
