I own 30% of a small manufacturing company (kitchen cabinets). We compete with approx. 120 small companies making the same products in our immediate area and 100,000's more world wide. We sell in Canada, Japan and the USA and can be competitive in each market with other manufacturers selling in that area. We all buy the same raw materials and use the same basic methods of construction. Yet none of us charge the same for our products. We have all used our expertise to modify and mechanize our production thus giving us a different efficiency and final cost.
Yet it never ceases to amaze me the oil companies can all produce their products within a 10th of a cent the same in an entire province. (can you say price fixing) oh no that would be illegal.
