Why is so hard for small business to manufacture in America.
This is a good video to watch, it’s very informative. I’ll post some highlights here. But watch the video to really understand the situation.
Minimum quantities are impossibly high for a small business.
Molds are still made in China and once you make the mold in China, they steal your IP (intellectual property).
For some reason US companies don't have a compression mold big enough for some parts, but China does.
High prices a small business has to charge for their product cannot compete with larger companies who order in larger quantities and get a quantity discount. And more.
They also found out that buying parts from India, really were not made in India. What China does to avoid tariffs is the parts are made in China, they ship it to India, then it gets shipped to your factory. But you can tell the parts were made in China because labels on the boxes are written in Mandarin. It’s all a lie.
And so the grill cleaner that is in this video, Made in America, is $75usd, which most people cannot afford.
