Integrity Manufacturing has become a US manufacturing success story and isone of the fastest growing companies in Kentucky. According to Integrity,they have achieved rapid growth in the past year by offering competitivemanufacturing to products once made in China and other overseas markets.

CNN reports that manufacturing in China is becoming more expensive. Laborrates are rising by 10 to 15 percent annually. Also new environmental,health and quality reforms are increasing the costs of Chinesemanufacturing. Coupled with the weak dollar the rising yuan, US companiesare finding Chinese outsourcing less favorable than in the past.

According to Waldman, Integrity's Louisville plant iscurrently manufacturing for HomeDepot, EMD along with 20 other Fortune 1000companies. On Friday, Integrity signed a $100 million contract withBoston-based BioDefense Corp. to produce their MailDefender security devicethat will be marketed throughout the world, a project expected to create125 new jobs.
