Manufacturing Might

A strong manufacturing base is the foundation of a mobile society, and American manufacturing is enjoying a resurgent life.

With growth that has outpaced the overall economy for the last five years, domestic manufacturing is drawing increased attention from distributors who want in on the action. The encouraging thing is that manufacturing affords many points of entry, with clients that have many needs to fill, from the broadly general to the highly specific.

Safety is one concern that is shared across the entire sector, and products like the sturdy, comfortable safety glasses from Fields Manufacturing (asi/54100) are precisely what clients are looking for. Often, manufacturers like to reward their employees for meeting safety goals. Items like the heavy-duty, flannel-lined duck jacket from White Bear Clothing (asi/97049) make ideal rewards for hard-working men and women.

When selling to manufacturers, workmanship certainly counts. A quality tool like the shockproof LED flashlight offered by Aakron (asi/30270) is a great example of a reliable product that can be passed along to customers, used to stock a company store or even given as an employee incentive.

Additionally, utility and durability are essential aspects of a successful manufacturing promotion. The items gathered here hint at the breadth of what the promotional products industry can provide to the revitalized manufacturing sector: Smartly-designed products that keep everyone working and building toward a better future.
