Are you having supply chain issues? Maybe your supplier is located overseas and you are having problems moving goods through ports. Or maybe your supplier is a domestic supplier, but located so far away, you are susceptible to weather, traffic, or other issues.
Whatever the reason, it may make sense for you to know Missouri companies that may be able to fulfill your needs. Not only will this help the Missouri economy, but it may help you get your goods more reliably and cost effectively. If there is not a Missouri company that can fulfill your needs, perhaps another domestic supplier will, but how do you find any of them?
