For years, global sourcing strategies pushed production overseas in search of lower costs. But over time, the trade-offs have become clear — and costly. Extended lead times, unreliable timelines, rising tariffs, communication gaps, and unpredictable quality have all forced manufacturers to rethink what “low cost” really means. At Assembly Solutions, we’ve taken a different approach since day one: build it here, build it right.

1. Shorter Lead Times, Faster Response

Working with a U.S.-based partner means fewer delays and faster delivery. There’s no need to account for overseas transit or language barriers. If you need a quick design change, engineering review, or project update, our team is a call away, not a time zone away.

2. Better Communication and Collaboration

Successful production depends on more than machines. It requires trust, precision, and constant communication. That’s hard to manage with an ocean between you and your supplier. At Assembly Solutions, your engineering team can speak directly with ours. Our process is collaborative, transparent, and built to align with your internal timelines.

3. Built to Your Standards

We build every part to IPC-610 and IPC-620 standards, with full traceability, documentation, and quality assurance at every step. Our in-house testing and inspection processes catch issues early, helping you avoid costly downstream failures.

4. More Predictable Costs

International sourcing can come with hidden fees. Freight surcharges, import duties, compliance headaches, and delays all add up. Domestic manufacturing often delivers better total cost of ownership, with less risk.

5. Reshoring Is Rising for a Reason

More companies are bringing production back to the U.S., not just for patriotic reasons, but for strategic ones. Being closer to your supply chain means greater control, faster decision-making, and better agility in changing markets.

The Bottom Line

American-made isn’t just a slogan. It’s a strategy. At Assembly Solutions, we’ve spent the last 24 years building products — and relationships — that last. If you’re ready to bring your assemblies closer to home, we’re here to help. Want to learn more about how reshoring can support your next project? Contact Us or Request a Quote today.
