Where's Ruger?  Ratzenberger visited their factory.

Dam short list but the only surprise for me was that it's not even shorter

My company does...we make processing equipment for the food and dairy industries.
Those nice bags of pre-shredded and sliced/cubed cheese are a result of what I design.
Take a 600# block of cheese and the end result being exact weight pieces ready for packaging.

100% of our stuff is done in house...albeit with imported stainless steel.

Not mine.  They NAFTA'd our factories to Ciudad Juarez.  At least it is not China.

Libman cleaning products are still made in the USA. As of late the grocery store cleaning utensil rack has been invaded by Chinese products. One must read the labels to be sure of a U.S. purchase, as these brushes, sponges and etc. tend to look alike. Forget buying eating and cooking utensils in the grocery store- all they sell is Chinese junk. I went through three can openers in a row before I gave up and bought a U.S.-made can opener elsewhere.

None. Everything is made in China. It's for the children.

I'd be surprised if anyone does.


We make most of our product (transport cases for the military) in Oregon, but when our vendors outsourced the parts we buy from them to China and had outrageous lead times, we cut out the middleman and went direct to China ourselves for some parts.


Don't you love how our vendors screwed themselves?
