China big part of AME business model Firm forgoes U.S. production, sources from Asia

摘要

TOWACO, N.J.—AME Corp. has come up with a business model whereby the firm uses manufacturing in China in a way it claims is good for all involved. The Towaco-based firm recently closed its 35-employee rubber molding plant in Towaco in favor of having most of its production done in China. But AME President Ronald C. Knauf said the company—in the end—will employ the same number or more here in the U.S. The closing is part of an ongoing "mor-phing" of AME from a company that made the majority of the products it sold as recently as two years ago to one that now sees itself as a full-line industrial services marketer."By the end of this year we'll be employing more people at higher salaries," Knauf said. "So we'll have more American workers making more money by (taking production) overseas."
