I'm in Canada and this is great for all your North American customers. We benefit from NAFTA and a shared market place. Your suppliers will also be happy. AG will do more business too because they now can deliver faster and less "red tape".

Just purchased a Flex 3401 from AG and love it. However, now that I can buy an "assembled in the USA" RUPES, that will be my next machine purchase.

Nice to see them coming to the states, i will make sure my next machine comes from them.

The only way the price will go down for the Canadian's is if the dollar goes up realative to the US dollar. There are also some savings on the Customs Broker Fees. Importing into NA is much easier and cheaper when it is made in NA. My main point is it is way less government red tape and therefore becomes less of "pita".

Certainly there are some NAFTA benefits (potentially) but there is still a lot for us to figure out and we only have SOME of the SKU's here for the moment so it will take some time to figure everything out and it will be a constantly moving target as we add additional manufacturing capacity to our operation here in the US.
