To claim a product is Made in the USA, the Federal Trade Commission requires “all or virtually all” of a product be made in America. Specifically, “all significant parts, processing, and labor that go into the product must be of U.S. origin.”
Kimball Midwest is an American company, and not simply because of our location. It runs deeper than that. Our focus on the American worker and domestic products is very real. As a proud American company, we are aware the American workforce is the backbone of our economy.
One of the many ways Kimball Midwest keeps its commitment to quality is a consistent focus on American-made goods. If you browse kimballmidwest.com or our catalog, you’ll see a lot of items that are made in America. That’s because 80% of our inventory spend goes to American-made products.
We could share stories of our products being made in countless facilities around the nation.
One such place is the plant where our Super Primalloy drill bits are crafted. These top-of-the-line cutting tools are made from high-speed steel and chopped, checked, machined and finished by more than 200 machinists working 24/7.
It’s a dirty job, and these American workers do it for you. For a behind-the-scenes look at this manufacturing process, check out this video:
