Here's how a little assembly plant in Ada , Ohio makes all the Wilson NFL balls. And we want to continue outsourcing all types of manufacturing in the U.S. to overseas plants?



Look at the employees and their longevity at this plant. Quite a business … their only product,lifetime employment for maybe 40-50 people,$25 million annual revenue, low overhead and high quality!

Very cool....
The guy that's inverting those skins looks like he'd get worn out after a few hours.
I wonder if they rotate their positions/jobs.

That's gotta be the toughest job in the plant.

They said that one lady has been blown balls for 37 years.

She has the easiest job in the place.


The lady that does the laces has a strenuous job too, but she seems to work at a fast pace. The box lady was impressive too. I used to fold pizza boxes by the hundreds at a time...paper cuts. Cardboard can slice you up nasty.
