"Made in the USA"

How can you support local manufacturing and still utilize the savings of sourcing overseas?

We all feel different emotions when we see a "made in USA" sticker or tag on a product that you are purchasing. Being the son of hard working American factory worker, I understand how important the jobs are to these men and women.

Many companies that we discuss the benefits of sourcing overseas, always are hesitant to take away jobs from fellow Americans. There are ways to utilize American made products and integrate products into your program from overseas as well. One key opportunity that we mention is that the product can be put into a package that is made in Asia and can save them up to 30%. So you can still proudly say that the product is made in the USA, and still save with the packaging from another country.

We would love to hear any of your suggestions/success stories on how you were able to combine importing and domestic manufacturing.
