Keaco Reaffirms Commitment to Manufacture Carrier Tape in the United States

Schertz, TX – July 14, 2004 - Today Keaco, Inc. reaffirmed their long standing commitment to manufacture carrier tape products in the United States.  “Some of the competition has decided to move their manufacturing facilities to Asia in order to be closer to the lion’s share of the business.  Keaco believes that the customers that remain in North America will continue to need quick inexpensive tool turns, uninterrupted just in time deliveries and to be able to quickly and reliably respond to sudden spikes in business volume which are so common in our industry.  You simply cannot be at the mercy of a potential longshoreman strike or excessive lead-times.  The level of service our North American customers expect can only be handled efficiently by a North American based production facility”, stated Mark Keatts, President and founder of Keaco. 

“Due to our low overhead structure we have become well known as a high quality low cost supplier of tape and reel products that can compete favorably against Asian competition.  We have committed ourselves to automate our processes which in turn greatly reduce our labor costs.  Our commitment to supply high quality, low cost tape and reel products made in the United States will continue to be a significant benefit to our valued North American customers”, stated John Deal, Keaco’s Sales Manager.

Keaco is a leading manufacturer of carrier tape and reel products for the electronics, medical and manufacturing industries located in Schertz, Texas.  Keaco offers global sales and distribution with additional facilities located in Singapore, China and Israel.   More information about Keaco can be found at www.keaco-smt.com.
