That's the idea, in Kansas City. 🇺🇸
The '5W1H' of Allan Industries:
WHO: Allan Industries. American, Veteran-owned.
WHAT: custom tooling the catalog doesn't stock. Gripper fingers, soft jaws, weld fixtures, legacy replacement parts.
WHERE: made in Kansas City, shipped across the USA.
WHEN: instant quote, same-day local delivery.
WHY: reindustrializing the U.S. of A.
HOW: industrial additive manufacturing in engineering plastics most shops can't run, on batch-traceable American filament. Send the file, we make the part.

A set of custom (heavy) metal EOAT fingers will traditionally run you into the thousands and leave your poor robots dead and fingerless for weeks. @allanindustries finds that tradition offensive.
These fingers are manufactured from our toughest (light) material. For a fraction of the cost and on your floor in days, not the better part of a month.
Fast. Affordable. Durable. Strong.
That’s the idea, in Kansas City.
Everyone's talking about reindustrialization, few are saying what it means. Manufacturing is coming back to America, but not the way it left. It comes back more machine than man.
Allan Industries is going to help build those machines so humans can refocus on the harder, more important work, the jobs that build a better tomorrow.
And we are not slow or greedy about it.
You send us the file, and we'll save you 50 to 80% on cost and turnaround time.
That's the idea, in Kansas City.
Our founder @ZaneHengsperger on what it will take to increase raw industrial capacity here in the USA
Zane’s got the right of it. We lost the ability to make the small things that actually hold a supply chain together.
We’re Stealing Fire at Allan Industries; making the tooling, the fixtures, the EOAT’s and the parts American factories need, fast and made right here in the good’ol U.S. of A.

Reindustrialize in The Motor City has been awesome
Speaking of motors, last month Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer stopped by Westmag in South San Francisco and made one
Nox Metals exists so America can build 100x more factories and technologically abundant industrial capacity in the West.
We are announcing our $11.5M Seed round led by Hyperion, with participation from Palmer Luckey, Y Combinator, Jared Friedman, RoboStrategy, Operator Collective, DTX, Alumni Ventures, and others.
Over the past few decades, America has neglected domestic production. We lost our dominating ability to build in the world of atoms while jobs on the factory floor plummeted.
It's time to build for America again. As our grandparents once did.
Since launching production only 7 months ago, we have shipped metal to hundreds of American factories. Countless truckloads to America's industrial base. And we are no where near slowing down.
Our metal has gone to space. It has protected our troops. It is in your car and in the machine that scanned your chest. It is all around us. And we can't stop supplying at warp speeds, because America needs it.
We will be revitalizing a WW2 era, 35,000 SQFT factory in Detroit this summer where we will have our techno industrialists working hard to further pursue our mission. We will be tripling down on technology, which has allowed us to move this fast for America thus far.
More code. More machines. More metal. More production.
TLDR: the SBA is making the bankable manufacturing companies fundable again by translating industrial capability into something a lender will touch
A plane doesn’t give a shit about you. It’s economical, calculating, totalitarian. It stuffs you into a tube with a hundred strangers, every one sharing a window the size of a Pringle can, every one more interested in the destination than the journey. You cross the whole country at 35,000 feet and never once touch it. A plane makes the world smaller, yet more disconnected.
A train doesn’t give a shit about you either. But in a good way. It hands you a window three feet by six and makes you look. You don’t fly over the country, you go through it: the hearts of valleys, the fields, the ghost towns, the small towns, the cities. A train doesn’t shrink the world. It makes you feel small, yet connected. Like you’re part of something bigger.
And these rails were laid to serve the places that build things. Every line ends somewhere that makes something. Which happens to be every place worth going.
Make trains a thing again.
@WyattListon @jimbelosic @maxinomics SCS is well beyond a vanity business. It was founded and is still headquartered in Reno, Nevada (a "smaller" city) where it successfully bootstrapped and continues to grow and hire locally.
This shows these types of operations can thrive outside of major coastal metros.
@dirtman “A person is [can be] smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals…”
I have a feeling manufacturing is going to move inland.
@maxinomics put out a great vid on this.
The flatbed data shows the inversion: manufacturing flipping from coastal to central. (Heat map below.)
Re-industrialization is coming, and it looks like it’s staring in the heart of this country.
Places like Kansas City and Detroit are already prime manufacturing hubs; rail, freight, and the industrial base all in the ground. It just needed a jump start and some fresh blood pumped into its old veins.
Plus; I'd bet it's a hell of a lot cheaper than trying to manufacture in California.
Figured you'd find it interesting
