I have seen this and thought about it for years. Such a simple (and heavy) part to make I never understood why they would make them in India. I would much rather see our tax dollars staying in the US

I really like to see new products launched by manufacturers. I prefer to buy American so I'm sure we will see some really cool sfuff in this thread.

I see a lot of people using Linkedin to source materials and equipment. It would be great if this became a searchable reference ober time. [image: 1742512149638-screenshot-2025-03-16-at-9.52.04-am.png] [image: 1742512173487-screenshot-2025-03-16-at-9.53.13-am.png]

When quality is baked into the DNA and culture of an organization, there are fewer defects. A multi-generational family with a focus and obsession with creating high-quality products can reduce defects and the need for extensive QA by making sure every employee is detail-oriented and shares a mission.

It's sad that we have been buying from overseas for so long that we don't even know how to define made in the usa anymore. I definitely see this turning around but it will take time.

Berry, Itar, ISO, Dfars, Dla Does anyone have a comprehensive list of all of the certs commonly used by American manufacturers? It might be easiest to break them down by sector and then let the experts chime in. https://www.varonis.com/blog/itar-compliance

Hey @yuri_ check this out. this might be interesting!

We're building a software product that helps manufacturers. It isn't a hardcore AI tool, but makes heavy use of AI. My impression (and please give feedback) is that most of the AI promises are big and lofty--robots and agents and AGI and all that. We're trying to take a more pragmatic approach to applying AI, by using it to solve the age old problem of running your business on top of an ERP that probably isn't really built for your business. It's definitely not a "replace workers on the shop floor" perspective, but it might put some consultants out of job if we're successful. We think the manufacturing sector has been woefully underserved by the software industry and that AI is one tool that can help us solve that.

I see a combination of excitement around job creation, fear of IP theft and a deluge of new government initiatives that are supporting the US industrial base. Plus a lot of young people are looking for jobs that don't require college or sitting in a cubicle all day. [image: 1742508043330-screenshot-2025-03-20-at-3.00.39-pm.png]
