Why buying local is best!
The United States is still a manufacturing powerhouse and SLP Lighting is proud to be a part of that business. The time is now to make a US manufacturer your go to for the highest quality lighting components in the market. Not only does it support the American economy it provides you with many advantages.
- Buying local creates more demand for jobs and services for Americans.
- It also helps to stimulate the economy on all levels.There may be lower costs by going overseas, but who will be able to buy your products when no one has a job?
- Another advantage of staying in the US is shipping costs and turnaround time.
- Overseas shipping is expensive and timely.US manufactures can ship parts to you with minimal delays and less room for errors at a much more reasonable cost than paying for ocean liner or jet fuel on top of customer fees and high item minimums and more. Again the tax and payments will be circulating back into the US economy helping our community more. SLP Lighting has distribution warehouses in Sullivan, MO, Paramount, CA as well as Passaic, NJ so we can ship with ease to any area in the United States.
