Made in America, Our 242nd Birthday!


Our Country has been celebrating its independence for 242 years. Manufacturing in the United States has come a long way since the start of the Industrial Revolution. The manufacturing industry was once seen as a dirty, crowded, assembly line type work. Although some may still see the industry in this light, manufacturing is truly one of the most advanced industries in the economy.

“The US Economy is performing well, Unemployment is 4.1% which is the lowest since 2000. The economy has added jobs for 85 consecutive months which is the longest streak in US history, a healthy economy increases the demand for manufactured goods in the United States.” -P. Gillespie
