All,
It admittedly has zero to do with ham radio, but I still wanted to post up the Wall Street Journal article Sharpie Found a Way to Make Pens More Cheaply—By Manufacturing Them in the U.S.. It is a feel-good article on a topic near and dear to me – Can we really on-shore manufacturing jobs back to the United States? The answer to that is at least a qualified yes.
In this article they describe how Newell Brands, Sharpie’s parent corporation, was determined to move their manufacturing operations back to the United States. Sharpie pens, who doesn’t love them, is now being made right here in the United States. It did require effort by company leadership, and a financial investment that was large, but at the end of the day they have successfully done it. Could it be done with every industry? Probably not. Does it prove that at least some can? Yes, it does.
Kathy and I subscribe to the WSJ and the link above is a “gift” link. The only thing it does not allow is for one to make a comment on the article. So I would love it if you would make your comment here. LOL
Enjoy,
Phillip Beall (W5EBC)
