“Patriotism is easy to understand
inAmerica; it means looking out for
yourself by looking out
for your country.” – Calvin Coolidge
It is rare to find a successful company in the United States that hasn’t sold off or outsourced internationally. Now days, with the recent economy and employment rates in the U.S. declining, it’s becoming a growing trend to support businesses who have originated and stayed in the United States, otherwise known as “Made in the U.S.A.” So we’ve dedicated this blog to the companies in the construction industry who have stuck true to their roots, and continue to own and operate here in the United States of America. We realize there are many more than 10 (and hopefully, as consumers, we can start to make it part of our criteria to check before we buy) but here are the top 10 companies we know of that are “Made in theU.S.A.”:
- Channellock: This company makes pliers, wrenches, screwdrivers, and other hand tools. Channellock has been around for 125 years, all of which in the U.S.A. They have survived a Great Recession, a Great Depression, and two World Wars. In fact, part of their motto is “Fiercely Made in Meadville, PA USA.” Check them out today! http://www.channellock.com/
- Chapman Tools: Home of all American made miniature ratchet and bit kits- ideal for working in tight spaces. Established in 1936, in a garage in Durham, Connecticut.

- Maglite: A family of quality lighting products. Each Mag Instrument flashlight represents a culmination of more than 20 years of research, development and continuous state-of-the-art refinement in every precision feature. This company has grown from a one-man machine shop in 1955 to an enterprise that employs over 800 dedicated American employees today. “Every Mag Instrument flashlight, no matter where in the world it ends up, comes from a factory located in the U.S.A. and staffed by American workers.” Check them out today! http://www.maglite.com/
