Mike, my former company does chrome lining of REAL engine, pistols and cylinders, in the USA. It does it in Ponca City, OK. And these parts are BIG, like 5 feet long and 18" in diameter.
I used to think the problem was just the regulations and the labor costs. This was until I was actually working with companies building and making stuff outside the USA. On my project, the savings and boost in the project profit was 3% on the labor. The increase in margin based on tax savings was 8%. Cameron is moving production to places like Romania and China.
And Romania has to meet all EU regulations! The cost of labor is going up. The only thing getting people to move production to Romania and other eastern European countries, is low taxes.
