Monmouth Rubber Poised to Capture Increased Demand for U.S. Manufacturing

LONG BRANCH NJ – Monmouth Rubber & Plastics Corporation is seeing increased orders from companies that once depended on overseas factories for their products.

"Manufacturing in the U.S. is not dead. A lot of competition is coming back because our prices are reasonable with quality that customers can depend on," Monmouth General Manager John M. Bonforte Sr. said. Monmouth already this year has accepted orders for several products that recently were made exclusively in foreign factories.

Even some overseas companies are looking to U.S. manufacturers for quality, low-cost product. "It's come full circle now," Bonforte said. "Monmouth and operations across America are now seeing increased interest from both domestic and foreign prospects."

Besides pricing and quality, other factors involved in the resurgence of U.S. manufacturing include lower shipping costs, less shipping lag time and competitive raw material costs, he said.

Monmouth Rubber is particularly well poised to capitalize on the renewed interest because of its:

- Evenly distributed customer base, with no one company accounting for the bulk of its revenue
- Continual investment in product development and product innovation
- Commitment to quality
- Debt-free status (the company owns its buildings and equipment outright)
- Impeccable customer service
- Carefully managed approach to growth
- Free "Ask John" technical support program
