Our costs are in line with manufacturers in China and India while being manufactured in the United States. We offer excellent customer care and communication with the convenience of a local manufacturer and locally manufactured and stocked product. Local manufacturing provides the convenience of operating in local time zones with English as a first language. A.I. only employs American citizens, thus eliminating errors caused by translation to foreign languages or cultures typical of doing business in other countries. A.I. can also offer shorter lead times than foreign competitors. Typically foreign competitors sea shipments take 4-6 weeks. A.I. can offer stocking programs with weekly/ bi weekly shipments which free up your cash flow and minimize exposure.
