By: TR Cutler Unique, one-of-a-kind solutions have a higher perceived value to customers resulting in better profit margins for manufacturers when accurately bid and properly executed. ETO – Made in America. One of the headlines from an early February USA Today article reads “Manufacturing a star of an upbeat jobs report.” According to the article, factories added 49,000 jobs in January. “Higher demand is finally kicking in, particularly in emerging markets”, says economist Cliff Waldman of research group Manufacturers Alliance/MAPI. Productivity gains that let makers put off hiring last year amid economic uncertainty are wearing thin. The report continues with a comment from an engineer to order manufacturer in Kentucky. After keeping its 192-worker staff stable the past few years, Atlas Machine & Supply in Louisville added 10 workers the past 90 days and last month converted two temporary employees to full time. The industrial parts maker increased overtime last year.

Companies like Chrysler and GE made “Made in America” the highlight of their Super Bowl commercials. The “Made in America” theme was prominent in President Obama’s State of the Union message. He offered multiple recommendations for promoting the manufacturing in America, including tax incentives for bringing jobs back to America and making it easier for American companies to sell their products overseas.
