High Tariffs Stand in the way of US Exports to China

By Peter Zieve

My company, Electroimpact, designs, manufactures, and sells products to the aerospace industry. Since China is involved in this industry, my company has been able to make sales there. Even though my company is selling products to China, my company is not manufacturing any there. I am truly fortunate that my company has been able to gain a foothold selling to the United States’ biggest competitor in the global marketplace. There are many barriers to selling US made goods in China.

As the president of a high-tech manufacturing company, I have experience finding and hiring talent. To no surprise of anyone who knows the world of high-tech manufacturing, I find the best talent comes from the United States. While some companies have turned to H1-B visas to find what they consider to be the “best” talent, I have not. And, my company has continued to thrive and dominant in the global marketplace by making some of the most technologically advanced products imaginable.

Snohomish County is a great place to spawn companies but the companies soon leave the state. Examples are Kimberly Clark, Intermec, Rane, Fluke has moved their manufacturing to China, B/E Aerospace moved their manufacturing to the Philippines. Boeing moved the 787-10 to South Carolina and their headquarters to Chicago. Bayliner left the state in 2008. Amazon just announced that they will open a headquarters in “another North American city” with up to 50,000 employees. Not enough room in Seattle?
