06
47 Years. Made in USA. Miami-Built.
Founded in 1979 by Mike Mijares in a two-car garage, MJM has never moved offshore. Every part is fabricated in Miami, Florida by skilled American workers. When domestic sourcing or Buy American provisions matter — MJM has been the answer since 1979.
Total Landed Cost
Why Nationwide OEMs Source From Florida
When buyers on the West Coast or in the Northeast evaluate a Florida fabrication partner, the first objection is usually freight: “Isn’t it more expensive to ship parts across the country?” It’s a reasonable question — but freight is only one line item, and rarely the one that decides total cost.
The real cost of a fabricated part is driven by labor, manufacturing overhead, equipment efficiency, material utilization, and production capacity — and those costs vary dramatically by region. For precision sheet metal work, skilled labor is a major component of every part: CNC laser operators, press brake operators, TIG and MIG welders, CNC machinists, programmers, assembly technicians, and quality inspectors all factor into a shop’s hourly rate.
California and other high-cost regions carry structurally higher costs across the board — higher wages, higher workers’ compensation, higher facility and energy costs, the nation’s highest state income tax, and heavier regulatory overhead. Florida remains one of the most competitive manufacturing labor markets in the country, with no state income tax and a lower overall cost base. That difference is built into every quoted hour — and on a medium-to-large fabrication project, it frequently exceeds the cost of freight.
| Cost Component | High-Cost Region | MJM (South Florida) |
|---|---|---|
| Skilled Labor (welding, laser, press brake) | Higher | Lower |
| Facility & Energy Cost | Much Higher | Lower |
| Workers’ Compensation | Higher | Lower |
| State Income Tax & Regulatory Overhead | Higher | None / Lower |
| Freight to Customer | Minimal | Added |
| Total Landed Cost | Often Higher | Often Lower |
This is why many California, Texas, and Northeast OEMs source precision fabrication from Florida and the Southeast: even with freight added, the total landed cost is frequently lower — without giving up quality or speed. At MJM, that competitive cost comes packaged with capabilities coastal buyers don’t always find close to home:
• Competitive total landed cost, not just a low freight line
• Lower manufacturing overhead than most coastal markets
• High-capacity automated laser cutting — five Amada systems running simultaneously
• AS9100 certified and ITAR registered quality systems
• Decades of national shipping experience
• Faster lead times thanks to available capacity
• Single-source fabrication, welding, machining, and finishing under one roof
Before you assume the closest shop is the most cost-effective one, let us quote it. Send your drawings to info@mjmmfg.com and we’ll give you an all-in number so you can compare total landed cost — not just freight.
