According to The Wall Street Journal, Jack Schron, the president of the company, declared, “We are running 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

The company ascribes the increase to both consistent demand from defense contractors and customers avoiding Chinese import tariffs.
At the Ohio-based company Grand River Rubber & Plastics, old customers are also coming back.
Within days of one another, two clients who had previously shifted their manufacturing to China returned, and two new producers of oil filters made orders right away.
