Hi there,
i am an italian guy writing from rome, i am posting here
to look for any suggestion...
i am tired of chinese products, i would like to manufacture something
metal object in my garage at a competitive price like chinese one.
Could you help me with any idea?

thank you!

Rome is a relatively expensive city in a country with costs broadly
similar to other developed countries. You can't make anything that
will compete with the China price if it is made in large quantity (eg.
MOQ one TEU container). Stick to special niche stuff that you
understand well and that has little competition and you can do fine.
Try to compete head-on and you'll get slaughtered. Don't judge their
costs by the selling price in your country, even big international
companies have made that mistake and have paid dearly.
