    INDUSTRY TRENDS
    Diecasters See Buyers Switching to U.S. Sourcing
    The North American Die Casting Assn. reports that a recent survey of its members reveals a significant majority, 78%, have evidence that buyers of their products are shifting to domestic sources for diecast components. The survey identifies three reasons for these shifts: buyers' concerns about the product quality, supplier proximity, and overseas logistics. Proximity to suppliers may be a determining factor for OEMS because delivery raises cost and production time. Together, these increases may eliminate any savings from offshore production.
