When evaluating vendors for your product, price and turnaround time are often the first things on the list. But quality and customer support aren't far behind.
Here are just a few reasons you should consider working with an American manufacturer, or if you are already, why you and your clients should be proud.
Higher Quality and Safety Standards
In the United States, manufacturing companies are held to a higher standard of quality and safety. This is primarily due to OSHA’s creation. OSHA helps to keep standards in place that in-turn, ensure the safety of American workers. However, safety isn’t the only benefit of supporting American manufacturers.
Quality is also a huge benefit to American-based manufacturing. When ordering from a country located in the states versus outsourcing, you’re also ensuring higher quality for your products. In other countries, chemicals and other hazards are not regulated, meaning that harmful or toxic chemicals could be utilized in the production of your product without you ever having knowledge of it. In fact, toxic chemicals are prevalent in a large portion of products that are manufactured and shipped from other countries.
Domestic Shipping Offers Time and Cost Savings
By utilizing an American manufacturer rather than overseas manufacturing, you’re saving money on the cost of shipping overseas. However, money is not the only thing saved. Time can also be saved by getting your products made at an American manufacturer because there is less room for error, delays, misunderstandings, or problems to arise. When time is saved, it results in faster shipping and delivery of products, meaning faster sales and turn-around for your company!

Environmental Sustainability
As discussed previously, American-based companies are exposed to a vast number of regulations that they need to follow. Included in this are environmental regulations. These rules and regulations were established by the Environmental Protection Agency, otherwise known as the EPA, and were brought about to better protect our environment and prevent pollution or other damage that manufacturing previously brought about. However, overseas companies don’t have nearly as many regulations that they need to follow, which means they are free to harm the environment without fear of penalty or retaliation.
Purchasing overseas also means that products need to be shipped overseas. This means that boat or plane travel is needed to send these shipments, which has a much harsher impact on natural resource consumption. By supporting an American-based manufacturing company, you’re also supporting a healthier environment and environmental sustainability for the future.
Support Teams are Easy to Reach
A large hassle that is oftentimes faced when getting products created overseas is that of miscommunication. Language barriers can oftentimes lead to communication being misinterpreted, meaning that product specifications or shipping terms can be lost in translation. However, when purchasing from an American-based manufacturing company, language barriers aren’t an issue, meaning that you’re ensured to get the product and specifications that you initially wanted. This also ties into our next benefit!
When outsourcing a product, making contact with the engineering team is oftentimes difficult. This is especially true because of language barriers that get in the way. Language barriers can lead to miscommunication and misinterpretation, oftentimes leading to incorrect products being created. However, by getting your products created at an American-based company, all of these problems are nonexistent. A team of experienced engineers is readily available to help you at any point in the process, and this is especially true with our Butler Technologies team.
Turnaround time is also exceptionally quicker when producing products within the United States. Because our engineering team is easily reachable, that means that designs can be approved quicker, and in turn, production can begin sooner.

Support American Job Creation
By supporting an American-based manufacturing company, you’re helping to create jobs for American workers. Many businesses today are moving their companies overseas for cheaper labor and fewer regulations and guidelines to follow. Because of this, many Americans are left unemployed or unable to find a job. By supporting an American-based manufacturing company, you’re also supporting jobs for American workers!
Another key benefit of manufacturing in the states is that American jobs pay American taxes! That means that money is being put back into our country’s government, which helps to better our country. By supporting American production, you’re supporting both American workers and our country financially.
Familiar with Industry Standards
Made in the USA
There's a reason that products are emblazoned with bold "Made in the U.S.A." labels whenever it's the case. In an age where you can have an item on your doorstep the next morning thanks to dropshipping and large corporations' profit margins being based on the penny, products made in the United States stand out against the competition.
You can proudly say that your products were Made In the U.S.A. and For the U.S.A.
