Summary
This is just the beginning of a trend as we move our economy ahead in capital goods and other manufacturing areas. About 40% of our industrial property inventory is devoted to manufacturing as opposed to warehousing or speculative flex space. This manufacturing percentage has been decreasing as we import inexpensive consumer goods from abroad. The world now needs capital goods to develop infrastructure and repair the environment among other sectors. They’re going to get the product from us, the leader of the world’s economies. Furthermore, nations now can pay for the goods and services because we’ve put 3rd world economies in business with our purchases. And we’ve got more brains and brawn and a better political system to get it done as opposed to other industrialized nations.
Analysis
Toyota is a market leader in one of the most important industries in America. The company has about 30 years of consistent performance in marketing automobiles in the United States. It has not drifted from its automotive operations to other diversifications. The firm has set quality and progressive thinking as its hallmark. The market sees its products as the best.Consumers buy all of its production without significant discount. The company has been manufacturing in the States for some time and now it’s going to step it up here. Others manufacturers will see Toyota as a leader to emulate.
We may manufacture on behalf of foreign brands as opposed to tried and true American names. An analysis of ownership records will show we own or control the capital sustaining these operations in many cases. We will benefit by enhancing the knowledge job wages of our country and by constructing the facilities to manufacture in a modern way.
Again, here’e the beginning of the trend which will transform the American economy in the coming decade. I look forward to its acceleration.
