Hello everyone. I`m currently having CAD drawings done on a simple sponge rubber toy design. I wanted to have the product made in the USA, but the only manufacturers I found who make these type items are overseas. USA plastic/rubber manufacturers seem to only make parts for automobiles, appliances, etc. Does anyone have a lead on a domestic manufacturer, or even a lead on a lead.

Thanks for your help.

I always look at the Thomas Register when I`m looking for a manufacturer. I have found some great companies that way.

Minimegeology,

Thanks. I had been there a few times in the past, but cannot find an American company that does the type of manufacturing I need. I suppose some outsource their manufacturing offshore for financial reasons, but I may have to due to a lack of qualified manufacturers in the USA. I`m a bit suprised by that. Thanks again for your input.
