At every level, Acero reveals itself to be at odds with the public’s general perceptions of American manufacturing. The company’s facility is well lit and virtually spotless, resembling a laboratory more than a shop floor. In April 2011, the company acquired ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certifications for continuous quality improvement. While attaining these distinctions proves an exceptional challenge for many, Acero already dedicated itself so fully to quality that the certification process required little effort compared to its existing operations. This dedication is apparent at all levels.
The story is a familiar one. Hoping to save money on manufacturing and assembly, leaders in an industry move production overseas. The majority of component suppliers follow, out of the necessity to be close to their customers. Many of these maintain their American headquarters to keep administration, engineering and r&d at home, but the manufacturing jobs disappear. The bicycle industry underwent this transformation through the mid-nineties, shifting the majority of its production first to Taiwan, then to China.

Toyota. The word has long since acquired a meaning beyond the company it names. It has come to designate a philosophy and approach to manufacturing that facilities around the world seek to integrate, implement and benefit from. It represents a methodical approach to quality that results not only in improved goods, but more productive and cost efficient processes. Still, when the average person hears Toyota, there is an immediate association with the automobile manufacturer, though the company makes more than just cars.
