At Metal Signs, we take great pride in the craftsmanship and quality of our metal wall art.
While it’s true that outsourcing production to countries like China can be significantly cheaper, often by as much as 50%, we’ve made a conscious decision to keep our manufacturing in the UK.
Here’s why we believe it’s the right choice for our brand, our customers, and our community.
Supporting the Local Economy
One of the primary reasons we manufacture our products in the UK is to support our local economy.
By choosing UK suppliers and manufacturers, we are contributing to the creation of jobs and the growth of local businesses.
This decision helps ensure that the money spent on our products stays within the community, fostering economic stability and growth.
Superior Quality and Craftsmanship
Quality is at the heart of everything we do.
UK manufacturing standards are among the highest in the world, and we are committed to delivering products that meet these standards. Like most Brits, we're not a fan of cheap crap.
We also have better control over the manufacturing process, we can make sure each piece of metal wall art is crafted with precision and care.
Ethical and Sustainable Practices
Manufacturing in the UK also allows us to adhere to strict ethical and environmental standards.
We are dedicated to reducing our carbon footprint and ensuring that our production processes are as sustainable as possible.
By sourcing materials locally and reducing transportation distances, we minimise our impact on the environment.
Building Strong Relationships
Working with UK suppliers enables us to build strong, collaborative relationships. These partnerships are built on trust, communication, and mutual respect.
By working closely with our suppliers, we can ensure that our high standards are maintained and that any issues are addressed promptly.
All of our suppliers, from the laser cutters, to the powder coaters and even our fulfillment warehouse are all within a few hours drive from us.
Conclusion
While it might be cheaper to outsource production to countries like China, we believe that the benefits of keeping our manufacturing in the UK far outweigh the cost savings.
By supporting the local economy, ensuring superior quality, providing faster service and building strong relationships, we create products that we are proud of and that our customers love.
At Metal Signs, we are committed to making decisions that reflect our values and priorities. We believe that by keeping our production local, we are not only creating beautiful, high-quality metal wall art but also contributing to a better, more sustainable future.
Thank you for supporting us and for valuing the importance of local craftsmanship.
