For several years companies around the United
States have been on-shoring jobs that were previously sent overseas. Companies
who have off-shored in the past have experienced quality problems,
communication issues, intellectual property issues and increasing shipping
costs.
The White House has promised to
provide incentives for businesses to bring jobs back from China, Japan
and Mexico to the United States. These are some good reasons to see an
increase of US manufacturing jobs in the coming year.
Apple, Google and GE have already announced
plans to bring manufacturing jobs back to the US in 2013. These may seem like a drop in the bucket but
it is an ongoing trend. With these new US jobs there
will be a need for capital equipment as well as hand tools which is where our
products fit into the picture.
Our
plan for 2013 includes continuing to search out new customers and distribution
through trade show attendance, print marketing and an increased online
presence. We will continue to promote
our product line as safe hand-tools for manual-handling of micro-sized as well
as larger parts in critical-environment manufacturing processes. We expect to see stronger sales in 2013 and
will add staff as increased sales dictates.
