Finally, someone makes something...
Finally, someone that makes something! That's the response I got after replying to the typical "what do you do for a living" question from my doctor at a recent visit to his office. Yes sir, there are a few of us left that actually make things in this country, and even fewer of us that haven't opted for the cost savings of sending manufacturing to overseas countries with daily wages less than our hourly wages.
"If you want something done right - do it yourself." We've all heard that saying, but that's what we opt to do at Sonix IV versus following the popular vote of outsourcing our manufacturing to an overseas country. Sure we'd save money, but undoubtedly we'd sacrifice quality. Our technology is a black science that has numerous proprietary nuiances, and when left to human nature where we have no supervision there will certainly be shortcuts, and/or component substitutions .
Sure we can provide contractors with our manufacturing guidelines, but there's no assurances. How many substandard products from foreign manufacturers have made the news recently? For companies that are much larger and that have strict policies with personnel in the foreign companies to oversee the manufacturing guidelines. No thank you! If you're going to make something do it yourself and make it right and make sure that your propriety knowledge is built into every product that leaves your plant.
Just like the users of our products we have equipment in our plant that we count on every day - all day long. We don't put much thought into those products they're just there for us each and every day, and if it does break down all hell breaks lose - production stops and has to be rerouted using other resources. We want users of Sonix IV products to have a product in their company that they don't have to think about - we want them to forget about our products, but remember and trust the Sonix IV name for reliability and durabilty.
Follow the crowd overseas? Following has never been Sonix IV's creed - we're mavericks, pioneers, innovators and proudly manufacture our products in the USA since 1972.
