[quote=flu]Maybe this is sort of off topic, but maybe someone else has been noticing….
I’ve been seeing more and more things being made in the USA again…. Inexpensive things that you would think have low margins and outsourced….I mean, things like plastic boxes, screen meshes, screws, nuts bolts, that traditionally was be made overseas is now here…
Have we reached a point that that our currency and economy is so trashed that it’s starting to look more competitive to manufacture in some of the rustbelts/midwest now versus overseas?
I manufacture SKEGPROTECTORS for repair of broken boat skegs, right up in Oceanside.
I would NEVER consider sending this work out of country even if it were cheaper.
1. I enjoy giving work to small companies like my own even if it’s a bit more expensive, we need to stick together and help each other out in trying times as these…
2. I don’t trust out of country companies to not steal my IP.
3. I have a much better management capability having it all done locally.
