Buying American Just Makes Sense.
The international supply chain has become an unpredictable, costly and risky venture, and there are no signs of it getting better any time soon. More and more, companies are reaching out to L&R Industries to help them source products in the US instead of overseas. Once they do a true assessment of their bottom-line costs associated with international procurement, and then add the risks that come with unexpected delays, plus the difficulty of dealing with quality issues - they understand that buying American just makes sense.
International Shipping Concerns & Costs.
Overseas shipping, especially of large, heavy industrial equipment, machinery and components, can cut deeply into your bottom-line profitability. Even worse, world affairs are dramatically impacting traditional supply chain routes – this has and can cause uncontrollable delays to deliveries, leaving you helpless to stay ahead of customer demand, while your products sit idly in shipping lanes, airports or distribution centers worldwide. And who can predict changes to taxes and tariffs that can making overseas buying even more unpredictable? All of these factors impact your ability to control your costs and product availability so that you can meet your customer demand profitably and on time.
Fast, Good or Cheap: Pick Two.
The old saying really does hold true. “You can have it fast, good or cheap: Pick Two.” International procurement is typically done because it’s reasonably good quality, and it’s cheap. But it isn’t fast, and more and more, you can’t count on delivery times even when you’ve planned many months in advance. If it isn’t in hand when you need it, then cheaper just isn’t better.
When you buy in America from L&R Industries you can count on getting top quality products in your hands when you need them, and when you do the math of all the costs associated with overseas purchasing, you’ll usually get a comparable bottom-line cost as well, with far less risk.
