Steel in Pennsylvania. Automobiles in Michigan. Factories and plants have historically been cornerstones of communities, their products not just a source of economic prosperity, but also providing a sense of pride.

After a period of decline in domestic manufacturing as many companies looked overseas for cheaper production, we’re now seeing the pendulum swing back. The United States is experiencing an industrial renaissance. Continuous technological improvements, automated systems, lower energy costs, and a competitive domestic labor market have led to significant cost savings within our borders. That, coupled with rising costs of doing business overseas, has allowed for a rebirth of manufacturing.

To remain competitive in a growing foreign and domestic manufacturing landscape, every efficiency matters. A multidiscipline engineering firm with nearly five decades of history, RETTEW can provide your company with the expertise necessary to reach your production goals.
