DESCRIPTION
American-made products are a hot button when people are out of work, when the economy is sluggish, during election season and so on. The perception, and reality, is that domestic companies do more for the U.S. economy and American jobs than foreign companies. The recent resurgence of Made in the USA has become critical to Wheatland Tube's job creation and new business expansion as dumped imports present a real threat to U.S. manufacturing. As part of a larger, corporate initiative to identify the unique characteristics and behavioral drivers of mechanical contractors, Wheatland conducted an American-made products survey. This infographic highlights the results of the survey and provides additional evidence supporting the increased demand for domestic products.
