Actually, I disagree with that. The days of mass-manufacturing in the US may be gone, but lookfor mini-manufactures and home based manufactures to replace a lot of overseas competition, as the process becomes ever more specialized and the cost to re-tool goes up for large production runs.

I have two product lines right now I am looking to manufacture rather than contract out because I can do it better, faster and less expensive. The equipment and technology is becoming less expensive and the prices for overseas production and shipping is going up. Not only that I can control the stock levels more efficiently, keeping more cash.

I really believe we will be returning to the days when there was a blacksmith, shoe maker etc. in every town. They will just be injection mold makers or whatever.

But then, I could be full of it.
