Consumers are paying more and more attention to how and where products are made. Price and quality remain important factors, but many consumers are more willing than ever to opt for locally-made products over those shipped in from overseas. Consumer preference is just one of the Canadian-based plastics contract manufacturing benefits we want to discuss in this post.
Some Key Benefits
Homegrown “Made in Canada” products instill a sense of pride, but beyond that, there are several tangible Canadian-based plastics contract manufacturing benefits.
- Supply Chain Issues. The COVID-19 pandemic drove home the degree to which society relies on a global supply chain. It also made it apparent how fragile that supply chain is and how one small hiccup) or even an extremely large hiccup like a container ship blocking the Suez Canal) can upend the supply chain to the point that entire markets suffer and consumers are left waiting for months on end for necessary goods. Canadian-based plastics manufacturing sidesteps this issue by working within the domestic supply chain. Overseas challenges are eliminated, which means products have a faster and more reliable time to market.
- Trusted Quality and Cost Protection. The days of producing products of lower quality to contain costs are disappearing. Consumers are careful about where they spend their money. They want quality products that last and are willing to pay a bit more for that assurance. They do not want to wonder if their products are safe, will have defects, or be recalled. Partnering with a proven, reputable Canadian-based plastics manufacturer eliminates these concerns as well.
- Speedy Solutions. Even if the supply chain is running smoothly, distance remains a factor no matter what. The further away production occurs, the more potential for delays related to weather, miscommunication, transportation issues, even local unrest. Reshoring production to Canada eliminates these obstacles, reduces lead time, and provides tighter delivery timeframes.
- Value-Added Professional Service. A local manufacturer is better positioned to help you throughout your project. This means doing more than simply producing products to spec. Secondary operations like finishing and assembly are common value-added services among Canadian manufacturers, but many manufacturers like Baytech Plastics offer even more services like engineering assistance, resin selection, and even delivery.
