Why U.S. Manufacturing Is More Relevant Than Ever in the Material Handling Industry
In today’s ever-evolving economic landscape, few things remain as vital and impactful as American manufacturing. For over 50 years, Myton Industries has proudly stood as a testament to that strength—right here in South Florida. As a U.S.-based manufacturer of plastic shipping and storage containers and trucks, we’ve weathered seismic shifts in global trade, adapted to changing technologies, and stayed committed to delivering durable, reliable solutions to our customers. And now, more than ever, our mission matters.
The Value of Buying American
When you choose U.S.-made material handling products, you’re not just getting quality—you’re supporting a system of resilience, accountability, and economic growth. Unlike overseas alternatives, American-made products like ours are built under strict quality standards, produced ethically, and supported by a customer service team that’s never more than a phone call away.
Buying domestic means faster lead times, fewer supply chain headaches, and more confidence in your product. For businesses that depend on efficient logistics and reliable storage, these aren’t just perks—they’re necessities.
Tariffs and Trade: A New Era Under Trump’s Economic Policy
Recent global economic changes, including tariffs introduced during President Trump’s administration, have reshaped the cost structures of importing goods from countries like China. While intended to protect American industries, these tariffs have made foreign-made products significantly more expensive and less predictable in both price and availability.
For industries like material handling that rely on sturdy, cost-effective components—plastic totes, storage bins, carts, and bulk containers—these tariffs have become a wake-up call. Businesses that once relied on international suppliers are now facing long lead times, supply shortages, and rising costs. The solution? Look homeward.
At Myton Industries, we’ve seen an increasing number of companies return to U.S. suppliers. They want stability. They want partnerships they can trust. And they want to invest in products that won’t be delayed or caught up in customs red tape.
The Myton Difference: 50+ Years of American Innovation
As a long-standing manufacturer in the material handling space, we’ve seen it all—offshoring booms, raw material shortages, automation revolutions, and yes, trade policy shakeups. Through it all, we’ve remained committed to innovation, quality, and above all, American manufacturing.
Our plastic containers and transport solutions are made right here in Florida, ensuring the highest quality control and shortest possible turnaround times. Whether you’re managing inventory in a warehouse, moving parts on a factory floor, or streamlining logistics at a distribution center, our products are built to last—and built in the USA.
A Stronger Future Starts at Home
Supporting U.S. manufacturers isn’t just about patriotism—it’s smart business. With global uncertainty continuing to rise and economic policy remaining volatile, investing in domestically produced goods is the surest way to protect your supply chain, your bottom line, and your customers.
At Myton Industries, we’re proud to be part of that solution. We’re not just making containers—we’re building trust, supporting American jobs, and helping companies across the country move smarter, faster, and more efficiently.
