Over the past decade JATCO has had an incredible amount of success gaining customers whose manufacturing operations were based overseas. While production and manufacturing was very cheap for many U.S. based firms, in the long run there were numerous issues that ended up costing and hurting these companies.

The initial appeal of using highly affordable foreign labor was like a heatwave for U.S. based businesses. Offering products to customers at a lower price while saving a ton on manufacturing costs seemed to be a win-win situation. At first this new model seemed like the right path. Yet slowly companies started to come back, and JATCO was their key point of U.S. based manufacturing re-entry.

So What Happened…

As overseas plants gained massive demand, their production costs went up and at the same time their product quality and manufacturing efficiency levels went down. Costly mistakes started to occur throughout a products cycle. Manufacturing errors weren’t caught until large-volume shipments arrived in their designated market and flaws were noticed, often by the consumer. At other times products were damaged, went missing or simply went completely stolen. Problems arose with communication barriers, storage and safety, shipping on time and so forth. Ultimately the money that was saved in overseas plastic-injection manufacturing ended up being put back into the necessary operations to correct critical issues.  It stopped being worth it.

Companies started to shop around in North America and time after time they kept returning to us, JATCO. So what makes JATCO the right manufacturing partner? The answer is very simple.
