A friend of mine recently sold his local biz. He used to wipe up. A divorce and China quickly changed that.

Keep in mind that time is of the essence to many customers so domestic prototyping and production may be desirable. He also offers the option of cheaper molds by offshoring that aspect of the project.
As a condition of the sale he has stayed on and get's some interesting business. If yo'd like I can take some pics of a job and post.

Another guy I know is in the plastic resin pellet business. Seems raw materials are in such demand that it's tough to secure. About a year ago he told me he ordered 3 rail cars worth of resin and felt lucky that he received one.
