Made in Wisconsin. Keeping it Local.
January 20, 2021
When people see Made in the USA next to a product, they typically think warm, fuzzy thoughts about that product or the process to make it. With so many goods being made overseas, as a nation we’ve come to appreciate those that are still made here in the USA. Though we might not know all the reasons why it’s good to purchase American-made, we know there is a general wholesomeness about it.
Keep Jobs Local
Part of that confidence in American made products comes from knowing jobs are kept local. Manufacturing facilities on our shores employ American workers right here in our country, in small towns and big towns, young workers and old. These workers have families that benefit in multiple ways from these jobs, from the direct pay to the healthcare and retirement benefits.
We are all interconnected, and local manufacturing companies can’t survive alone. They use other companies for their construction, banking, and utilities, to name a few. This keeps even more jobs in the USA and supports even more families in our communities.
Support for Local Communities
People that have jobs and get paid in the US then turn around and spend money in the US. They go to get groceries and buy clothes. These consumers buy gifts and go out to eat at restaurants. They put gas in their car and go on vacations. All of these actions support other businesses and other Americans. Money is staying local and driving the business of other companies. This creates a healthy community where people want to live, work and play.
Better for the Environment
When goods are manufactured in the US, the process to make those goods is guided by strict environmental regulations. These regulations are stricter than in other countries. This means less impact on the environment in the form of air pollution, and soil and water contamination. In addition, goods made locally don’t have to travel across the ocean to reach their destination. This means less energy resources used to get them from origin to destination.
