Why U.S. Manufacturing?

In his third State of the Union address, President Obama emphasized the importance of American manufacturing.  Political affiliations and ideologies aside, the topic of American innovation and manufacturing is especially important to us at nth Solutions.

“Proudly and 100% Made in the USA” isn’t a tagline we toss around lightly.  It’s the core of our business.  Because we manufacture all of our products at our Exton, Pa., facility, we can deliver product into the marketplace quickly.  (No waiting for the slow boat from Asia!)  We can maintain tight quality control, and best of all, employ American workers and keep jobs here.  We’d rather hire several workers at a fair wage than produce a lower-cost item in a foreign factory with dubious working conditions.  And it’s better for the environment to source and ship material domestically.  Check out our Made in the USA video on Youtube!

Some say that shifting manufacturing overseas would be more cost-effective.  Yes, it would be cheaper, but the long term benefits of retaining domestic manufacturing can’t be denied.

What do you think about manufacturing in the United States?  If you were president, how would you go about improving the economy?  Let us know in the comments, or catch up with us on Twitter.
