A spark of good news for American manufacturing as Syracuse.com reports that Sherrill Manufacturing Inc., the silverware maker that took over the Oneida Ltd. factory after its closing nine years ago, has moved all of its manufacturing back from Mexico and more than doubled its workforce in upstate New York. Company CEO Gregory Owens told the publication that the company employs 42 people at the former Oneida silverware factory — 38 full-time employees and four permanent part-time workers. A year ago, it employed 16 full-time workers and, sporadically, a few part-time workers.

Owens told Syracuse.com demand for the company’s “Made in the USA” stainless steel tableware is so strong that the factory is now producing products every day. Last year, the company went through phases in which it would manufacture for a six-week period, then wait a couple of months before manufacturing for another six-week period, then start the process all over again. Owens said the company completed moving its government and contract manufacturing at a former Oneida Ltd. plant in Mexico to Sherill in June. 

The company currently offers its products on their website under the “Liberty Tabletop” brand. To learn more about Sherrill Manufacturing’s Liberty Tabletop, go here:
