Meridian Cable – Quality Coil Cords And Cable Assemblies

April 11, 2011 - PRLog -- Many people are gullible enough to believe that EVERYTHING imported is of poor quality.  This simple defies logic and anyone who makes a blanket statement as such surely doesn’t know the world we live in today.  Meridian Cable makes coil cords in China, designs them in America and is creating jobs in BOTH countries.  This cannot be said by some of our competitors.

First let’s address the quality issue.  If you have bought a cell phone, laptop computer, television or many other electronic devices odds are it was imported.  The same is true for many, many other items.  Kitchen appliances, furniture, medical devices, industrial controls and caskets are just a few of the items imported into America from overseas.  If the argument is true that everything imported is of poor quality how is it that there are excellently made examples of every item listed here?  The same is true of coil cords and cable assemblies.  The truth is you can find poor quality manufacturing ANYWHERE, and that includes America.  The important thing is to find a reputable company with a long history of quality performance.

Second let’s discuss why anyone would make such a blanket statement.  There are great manufacturing companies all over the world, and there are very poor manufacturing companies all over the world.  In this day and age surely everyone knows that excellent performance is not limited to any nation.  Anyone who thinks one country has all the advantages is limiting their option.  Granted there are reasons to buy from a given country and those do count.  However if quality is the only criteria then there are many countries that qualify.  The same is true of coil cords and cable assemblies.  The truth is you can find companies at each end of the quality spectrum in most countries.  A smart assessment would include ALL companies that can perform and not limit the options based on geography.

Third it is helpful to remember how small the world is today.  Sure the earth has not changed size in our lifetime, or for a few billion years for that matter, but from a business standpoint the world has never been smaller.  It took Christopher Columbus 5 weeks to cross the Atlantic in 1492, the first steamship took 18 days, Lindbergh 33.5 hours and today a modern jet makes the journey in 7 to 8 hours.  Technology has continuously made the world smaller with each passing generation.  Anyone who denies this fact is either purposely not telling the truth or is clinging to a lost world.

Last we all need to remember our business history.  There are countless examples of countries and companies who close themselves off to the options the world can afford.  China for example in 1100’s had paper, gunpowder and the compass CENTURIES before Europe.  And in the 1400s, 80 years before Columbus’ voyage they had 400 foot long, ocean going boats while Columbus’ boats were about 70 feet long.  China closed their borders, burned their boats, and was not a serious economic power for the next 500 years.

The point is obvious; any company that wants to grow and be competitive has to take advantage of every opportunity and resource available.  Anyone who says ALL the advantages are in ONE country is either not being honest, or is myopic and denying reality.  In today’s business environment, with the advancing in communication and logistics, any company can buy from any other company.  All it takes is find thing right partner.  When it comes to coil cords and cable assemblies Meridian Cable, being a global company, can be the best partner an OEM can find.  And we have added many jobs in AMERICA over the last few years, so if you are worried about American job creation Meridian Cable is doing that too!
