Machine parts. I don't want to get into it to much because cancel culture.
USA doesn't make these parts. I paid money to join a national association so that I could find an American that makes them. Their people set me up with more middlemen in the US that would buy from China.
Good to know. Spouse is a SME here, trying to get his company to diversify more -- they are too dependent on the "flying" industry for business.
Willing to share the general industry where parts are scarce?
There are a lot of liberals that will be my customers. I'm thinking about 50%. I don't want to Black Rifle Coffee myself. Maybe one day I will come back here and tell ya.
The company I work for once tried to make use of Chinese-made materials because the price was drastically lower and claimed to be of the same standard.
The stuff shows up and they start building with it. Then the calls start coming in that stuff is wrong with it. The quality was so poor that by the time they paid to fix all the problems with it that it cost more than the money they originally saved. I wish I remember the details from the testing because for something listed as meeting certain standards, it failed EVERYTHING.
It worked out this time! Thanks goodness it did!
Thanks for replying, I was trying to find this thread again because it gave me an idea for the entrepreneurs around.
Presumably, there is a demand like mentioned for products made in America (Canada for me). Beating prices may not be an option, but can definitively replicate many of the products primarily made in China, except made durable and to applicable standards.
Should be worthwhile to track down some Chinese products to make equivalents that aren't broken once it is removed from the box.

If this business I've created doesn't work out then I will make another one. That company will do what you just said. It will also be MAGA AF!
