Our competitors purchased residential cabinets through US Cabinet depot in Georgia, 100% made in China, assembled by the installers here. We bit the bullet and made approximately $2,000 less profit on each job, supplying US made mainly from North Carolina in our own state. Hate Trump for what he did, but within 6 months all the Chinese production shifted to Vietnam and Cambodia. The builders here and their customers have been tainted so much by the made in China curse, that almost no one now wants imported cabinets.....so what are you saying I'm not smart?
Actually I've never admitted to being smart (even though I achieved a fairly high military rank)....if I was I wouldn't have spent my entire adult life in a uniform and going to the nasty places I've been.
I'll explain my stand here...China is not our friend however, we (the west) have made it so we can't produce our own products and if we were to produce our own products nobody would buy them as they would cost more and people are inherently cheap.
So, my friend, one example of where there is a will there is a way, just try and practice what you preach.
In case you think I am BS, here is a link to our website. And as to your hate for CEO’s that is me, except I prefer the designation of “Owner”.
