Buying American – What It Means
At Re:Build Manufacturing, we are focused on building the next incarnation of the great American industrial conglomerate. As GE, RCA, DuPont, etc. created a great economic engine 100 years ago, we want to be part of a revitalization of that engine of progress and economic opportunity – the manufacturing economy – today. As such, we are working on the supply side, creating the ability, the means, to produce complex industrial products in America. But part of what ails us today is the demand side; the flood of imports that we consume as businesses and individuals. In 2023 alone the United States imported almost 4 trillion dollars’ worth of goods and services. That’s a hard figure to conceptualize, so to put it into context, that’s ~22x Elon Musk’s total net worth of $186 billion. That didn’t make it any more relatable, did it? Put another way, it’s 66.7 million times the average U.S. salary.

Re:Build and Nadcap
Nadcap was created in 1990 by aerospace Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to provide supply chain oversight and ensure regulatory compliance, first focused on U.S. defense supply chains. The Nadcap program has evolved since its birth to be a truly international accreditation program, evolving from the previous NADCAP (National Aerospace Defense Contractors Accreditation Program) to “Nadcap”. Nadcap is an Industry Managed Program focused on the accreditation of special processes. Its OEM members include 95% of so-called prime contractors or “primes” globally and it is understood as a prerequisite to most aerospace and/or defense manufacturing work.
