Expansion in the US?
Maintain Continuity of Product Delivery by Manufacture in the US, or North America
In the news are reports of recalls of foreign-made product, and lawsuits, because of inappropriate material use; in recent history were massive shutdowns for health or political reasons. Don't let a short term cost saving destroy your long term business.

Regulation within the United States, and Canada, is frequently the target of criticism. However, that regulation does not allow the use of unauthorized materials; lead based paints and industrial grade chemicals in food products, and outlawed antibiotics for instance. People are paid a higher wage in North America, but the manufacturing climate can more than justify that wage rate because products are kept on the market. When a company has no products on the market, and lawsuits are filed because of customer injury, wage rate savings are quickly lost.
Health Issues Health issues have occurred in areas of the world such as Southeast Asia, for instance bird flu strains and SARS. When these issues arise, workers are affected, plants are shut, production in stopped, and shipments are stopped. My crystal ball is not clear enough to predict when and where in the world the next major health issue will arise, and the overall impact may well be much greater than missed shipments. But history of the first part of the 21st century indicates that North America will not be the center of the problem. |
