        I have worked in project management/product development projects for many products which need injection molding and blow molding. Now the COO of a US injection molding company.

        I see a big shift in bringing tooling back from China to the US and Mexico. If Trump gets elected, that will increase at a faster rate, if he doesn’t, it will continue to grow.

        I would also be interested in developing relationships with manufacturers in Mexico, as some US pricing can’t bridge the cost gap of bringing work back to North America.

        In addition, there are needs from material availability and material distribution networks. In a few of my projects, we hit unnecessary roadblocks where typical materials were difficult to get in Mexico.

    Do you know of reputable manufacturers of phone cases, screen protectors or chargers? Like really solid ones, not flaky

      Chargers and screen protectors yes. For example I have bought screen protectors for $2-$3 retail. Phone cases I would have to check and also the type of material you want your phone cases made out of.

        We currently work with manufacturers in China for these but shipping costs are eating into our margins. For cases they are plastic, a clear case is a good start

      What sort of products? I can set you up with custom designed products if you want to differentiate and build a brand rather than only resell

        Everything in home and office decor, indoor & outdoor furniture, DIY, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom products. If your products are already in the US and/or Canada we can start now. If not, I can help move the products but only in Q2 2024. Edit: Wow the feedback has been amazing! I will personally help anyone that has stock.

          Are there certain products that you know that could work? For example (and I DMed you with details) we can produce anything in a certain type of material. So, although there isn’t any stock of that, it’s something we can make relatively quickly, in premium quality (ex: in time for Q2 2024), with a brand behind it if you know for sure that product can be sold to your retailers

    Manufactures of what? I believe better way to start is to find the demand and then contact the suppliers. You can’t get everything produced like someone suggested up there

    I tried something like this last year. If you could make it easy for people on the American side to get products and keep business relations you’ll be good, could almost be an Alibaba alternative or something.
