During the last two decades of the twentieth century, China built a
manufacturing juggernaut that propelled the offshoring phenomenon
and led to the loss of millions of US manufacturing jobs. To
compete with the onslaught of cheap imported products, many US
companies began cutting corners. They sacrificed quality, which
drove even more people to buy foreign-made goods. Michael McKeldon
Woody, formerly an executive at a domestic pen manufacturer,
learned the hard way that these competitors were relentless, and
eventually acquiesced to the inevitability of offshoring. But in
2006 he stumbled upon a US textile business, Trans-Tex LLC, which
gave him the opportunity to pursue a rematch with his old nemesis,
China.
