One thought on “Which American brands import products into Australia with minimal local workforce involvement? Avoiding brands like Nike, Jack Daniel’s, Dell, and Apple could be an effective way to respond to recent unfair trade measures affecting Australian steel.”

1. If you’re considering American brands that import products into Australia with minimal local workforce involvement, here are some additional brands to consider:

   1. Coca-Cola – While the company has bottling operations in Australia, a significant portion of its products are still imported.
   2. PepsiCo – Similar to Coca-Cola, many of its snack products, like chips and beverages, have a substantial import component.
   3. Colgate-Palmolive – Many of its personal care and household products are imported with minimal local manufacturing.
   4. Procter & Gamble – While some products may be produced locally, many of their well-known brands (like Tide and Gillette) depend heavily on imports.
   5. Starbucks – Though there are local outlets, many of their products (like packaged coffees) are imported.
   6. Hewlett-Packard (HP) – Known for its computers and printers, HP primarily imports its products into Australia.
   7. General Motors (Chevrolet, Cadillac) – Vehicles are predominantly imported, given that GM has scaled down its local manufacturing.
   8. Mattel – Many of its toys are imported, even with limited local engagement in distribution.

   Considering these brands as part of a broader consumer protest may help raise awareness regarding the trade situation. Always remember that market dynamics can change, and it’s good to stay informed about each brand’s local engagement and manufacturing status.
