Bet the Farm | An Update on RiG'd mfg.

Straddling the Fence

It wasn’t long ago we were straddling the fence on what direction to take for the future of RiG’d manufacturing.On one side we had US contract manufacturers that were painfully slow and only getting slower and less motivated. On the other side was taking it overseas. In all transparency, this past year we even tested the waters having parts made in China. Can it be done to our standards overseas? Yes. Did we like how we felt doing it? Absolutely not.

Going All In

As the year came to a close and the election loomed we felt a surge to take the leap of faith. To fully commit to making everything in our own building. It would be nice if we could have had a healthy buffer of inventory and piles of cash. However, in the wake of COVID, it’s no secret the industry has been in a general state of decline and consolidation. To take the risk on our own ability to make parts required fully betting the farm, going all-in.

Choose the Unfamiliar Path

The last few months have been a season where all other options for getting parts had dried up and there was only one way forward, to figure it out ourselves. Has it been easy? No. Has it been fulfilling? Absolutely. We wouldn't have it any other way. Our story is a lesson in faith. Believing there is a better way forward even when the cards are stacked against you. To step out of your comfort zone and not settle for the path that’s familiar.

Beyond Grateful

We are beyond grateful for the continued trust from our customers believing in what we’re doing. The story that’s being written of a small team showing up every day and taking another step forward to do something a better way than the day before.
