Like you said Ron medication and medical procedures is something that we all need and therefore will be bought at any cost. There are something’s that can’t be made on the cheap….

I am employed by a small thermoplastic sheet manufacturer in central Pennsylvania. Our export sales are largely driven by aerospace and are the engine behind our continuing growth and constant state of hiring new employees. We export our materials to Europe, eastern Europe, China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Australia….and our material is converted into interior components. It’s a great growth industry where American-made products are the drivers in innovation and quality. Proud to say, “made in USA – sold everywhere.” Good to see someone recognizing it!
