American Made Manufacturing & The Effort to Re-shore

Pride of ownership means something to me. As many of you may already know, I served in the Air Force as a Flying Crew Chief from 2002-2008. I traveled across the globe but primarily in Europe and the Middle East and maintained and repaired the C-17 aircraft for missions that flew all over the world. In my service to our country, I met many amazing people and learned about culture firsthand. It is an experience that changed me and enhanced my appreciation for our country, our capacity, and what American made stands for.

Here at Focused on Machining, our CNC machining services are being used in defense, transportation, food and beverage, and aerospace industries. Every day we are building our custom machining capacity, utilizing the latest CNC technology, and ensuring that quality is NEVER compromised and I can tell you from experience, that is not the case in other parts of the world. Reshoring much of our supply chain & manufacturing capabilities to the states makes sense for several reasons. Given our current situation with COVID-19, having outsourced suppliers that are not in proximity means parts may not be made on time because of delays in getting materials and shipping completed parts. Manufacturing in America also secures steady, well-paid careers in local machine shops that are in extremely high demand. Ask one machine shop in the Denver area and I guarantee they are all looking to add skilled labor on their shop floor! Data collected by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) & National Tooling and Machining Association (NTMA) points out that people with a CNC certificate typically make more money than an entry-level college graduate- and you don’t have thousands of dollars in loans to pay back. For every dollar spent in manufacturing, $2.74 is spent in our US economy (National Association of Manufacturers).

We are open, we have the manufacturing capacity, and the quality of our parts made here will never be compromised. Let us custom quote your next manufacturing job today!
