I’ve been observing and listening…when a restaurant closes, is it because of the “R” or is it because the service or food just didn’t hit market requirements?
When the Malls are empty on the Big Sale Day, is it because of the “R” or is it because of stuff made in…you know…over there? Or is it because of fashions of clothes that simply are not appealing to shoppers?
If toys aren’t selling like there’s no tomorrow, is it because of the “R” or is it, well, you guessed it.
Get the idea?

I got to thinking about the numerous quality problems of products made in China, you know, baby’s milk, lead in toys, etc. and some of the manufacturing that I’ve heard returning from there and from Europe. With a growing unemployment of people especially from Wall Street, the banks, and yes even from the auto sector, maybe a rebirth can be accomplished.
I mean, what if these people were to get together, pool their monies, and start new manufacturing companies here in the Rockford Region and bring back some of the production back home? Wouldn’t that be great?
We have all the resources locally to help them. Far fetched?

Yes, Ingersoll Machine Tools is hiring machinists, CNC machinists and programmers, maintenance and field service and assemblers. They are also looking for apprentices. Look here for more details.
