When I started this business, there were a lot of difficult decisions I needed to make to ensure that I put out the best product possible. One of the easiest decisions I made was to have Sortasack produced in the United States.

There were three main reasons why this decision was important to the company:

I wanted to be responsible for creating jobs, not taking them away.

I understand that it’s cheaper to mass produce in China or an emerging economy, however it was important to me to create jobs here, in America. With the unemployment rate already dangerously high, it seemed imprudent to send jobs oversees that could easily be completed in our own country.

I wanted to boost the economy.

By keeping the product in America, and creating more American jobs, there is more money in the US economy to spend. Buying products that are made outside the US results in money going outside of the country and not coming back in.

I believe in America’s manufacturing capabilities.

America was built up by the manufacturing industries, and while many have moved overseas, I want our factories to flourish, not shrink. I want to know that our factories will be up and running for years to come.

I have recently seen a few television shows such as 20/20, The View, and The Ellen DeGeneres show doing segments on Made in America products. It seems to be a growing trend that Americans are doing their best to buy American products.

I am proud to be able to offer such a high-quality product to my customers and I hope the simple tag, Made in the USA, brings you as much satisfaction as it does me.
