*"The Morey Corporation was in pursuit of a large electronics build opportunity - $15+ million per year over 4 years. In the process we needed to perform an offshore vs. onshore analysis. We used the TCO calculator from Harry Moser and the Reshoring Initiative. This tool framed the costs and risks of both options and was a crucial piece to our winning strategy."
- Tony Woodall, VP of Sales “Harry, You did an excellent job in helping my members understand all the factors involved in the costs of doing business offshore and how to encourage OEMs to return their business to US manufacturers. I encourage everyone to review your TCO calculator. It is a great sales tool.”
– Daniel Twarog, President, NADCA
