You may ask why such companies would be included on a blog about American-made products. Here’s why:
- These companies make some wonderful American-made goods. (And it would be just plain wrong to over look that!)
- By buying the US-made products these companies do offer, you demonstrate that American-made is important to you. With your support, hopefully, these companies will choose to/be able to bring more of their manufacturing back to the States. (It is like voting with your wallet. So vote early and often!)
- Sometimes there are good and even legal reasons for not making certain products in the US. That doesn’t mean the company isn’t committed to US production and making a quality product. (In other words, don’t throw the baby out with the bath water! Especially if you’ve never even met the baby.)
Most of the companies listed below clearly mark the country of origin on each product they sell. However, if you are ever having trouble finding this information, ASK! All of these companies have contact information and most respond within one day by email to questions/concerns. (Need an answer faster, you can always call!)
In an effort to (hopefully) minimize confusion, I have made every effort to only included categories for each company that do contain American-made goods. (That means a company listed below with an * may also make products in other categories. But because none of the goods in those categories are made in the US, those categories are not listed beside the company’s name.)
