While this is in no small part down to the highly skilled expert workers who are employed in the industry in US, this is coupled with various innovations leading the way in 2018 and convincing many companies to reshore their production. Here are some innovations in the US that are paving the way towards growth when it comes to silicone manufacturing. ### **Automation** America manufacturing is cutting edge, meaning innovations in this field are extensive. When it comes to American injection molding developments in processes and technologies are driving down costs, making it more and more cost efficient while allowing for companies to offer customers sustainable and environmentally responsible products manufactured close to where they’re sold. A particular innovation that’s common in the States is the use of [selective automation](https://www.extrememolding.com/blog/upscaling-extreme-moldings-liquid-silicone-rubber-capacities), skilled workers combined with smart machines, in order to provide real-time predictive analytics and make for products that are second to none in quality. By using selective, rather than complete, automation many good American silicone manufacturers are able to combine the efficiency and precision of machines with the deep knowledge of experts within the injection molding industry. ### **Expert Workers** When it comes to customer service, look no further than the exceptional standards set in America. Any good manufacturer compliments their machinery with engineers and specialists able to offer expert advice on designs, material selection, and even packaging when the time comes. ![How USA Innovations Are Leading the Way in 2018](https://www.extrememolding.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/How-USA-Innovations-Are-Leading-the-Way-in-2018.jpeg?width=599&height=335&name=How-USA-Innovations-Are-Leading-the-Way-in-2018.jpeg "How USA Innovations Are Leading the Way in 2018") ### Full Traceability There’s no higher risk when it comes to manufacturing silicone products for use in healthcare, by children, in food, or with pets, than a lack of traceability. Understanding where and how materials arrived with your manufacturer can significantly reduce risk and offers many companies peace mind, since you can be assured of the highest quality American parts and components. American manufacturers are pioneering the way when it comes to transparency — with some even pioneering the way in traceability using blockchain technology. Regardless of how the supply chain is monitored, when you partner with a manufacturer in the USA you can be assured that they will use the latest and most appropriate technologies to bring you the kind of transparency you need. ### A History of Innovation and a Future of Success When it comes to pushing frontiers, and pioneering technologies, few silicone manufacturers have a history steeped in innovations like ours.
