US manufacturing

Make it in America. Skip the tariff.

Tariffs on many Chinese goods now run at 25% or more. Goods made or substantially transformed in the USA are not subject to import tariffs when they reach the customer. EMX sets up and runs US production for Chinese manufacturers, with access to capital to fund it.

What we set up for you

Site and building

  • Site selection by state, labour market, logistics and incentives
  • Leased or built industrial space, sized to your line
  • Permits, utilities and inspections

Production

  • Final assembly, kitting or full manufacturing
  • Equipment import and installation
  • Local hiring, training and supervision
  • Quality control to your factory standards

Capital

  • Access to capital for factory setup, equipment and working stock
  • Inventory and trade finance for the first production runs
  • State and local incentive applications

Ways to start

  • US assembly. Ship components, assemble in the US. The lowest-cost first step for many products.
  • Foreign-Trade Zone. Produce inside a US Foreign-Trade Zone to defer or reduce duty on imported components.
  • Full US factory. A complete production line under your brand, run by EMX or by your own team.
  • Contract manufacturing. We place your product with an existing US manufacturer while your own plant is built.

Every plan starts with a duty and cost comparison: what your product costs landed from China today, and what it costs made in the US. We also check country-of-origin rules and any federal or state rules on foreign ownership, so the structure holds up.

Sold the moment it is made

Because EMX also runs US sales, warehousing and delivery, your US-made products go straight into our marketplace channels, wholesale buyers and final-mile network. One partner from factory floor to customer door.
