Why is “Made in the USA” important to us?
Purchasing a product with the “Made in the USA” logo gives American consumers a sense of freedom, pride and satisfaction, knowing they are contributing to our economy and supporting American jobs, and fellow Americans. The manufacturing industry in the United States helps to increase jobs, careers, and opportunities, especially when their products are made in America. Being a small business in the United States is one of the best ways to contribute to society. Some may call this, the American Dream.
At Toledo Metal Spinning Company, we are very fortunate to make each and every one of our products in our home facility located in Toledo, Ohio. Small businesses are extremely important to the U.S. economy. According to the Small Business Association, or the SBA, small businesses of 500 employees or less make up 99.9% of all U.S. businesses, and 99.7% of firms with paid employees. Between 1995 and 2020, small businesses accounted for 62% of new jobs created, which means 12.7 million people were working new jobs, according to Forbes. We are proud to be part of the small business community.
American Made Matters suggests nine reasons why we should focus on purchasing American Made products:
- Helps to provide jobs for future Generations
- Promotes American Independence
- Better for the Environment
- Our government cannot control foreign labor standards
- Boosts American Investment Opportunities
- Guaranteed Quality of Goods
- Guaranteed Safer and Fair Working Conditions
- Helps to Reduce the Deficit
- Outsourced Manufacturing Plants Rarely Return to the US
High Quality Products
American made products have a reputation for being durable and long-lasting. Our Cleanline waste receptacles fit this stereotype well, as do the rest of our products. We manufacture extremely durable parts for a variety of industries including plastics, food processing, transportation (FPO), HVAC, lighting, bulk handling, architecture, medical and pharmaceutical, car wash, and more. We are very fortunate to serve many different industries within the United States.
The U.S. manufacturing requirements result in higher-quality products that you can count on. The American government sets standards and laws that we must adhere to, resulting in higher quality and safer products. We are required to use high-quality materials from beginning to end, ensuring we are going above and beyond to produce the best possible parts on time at a fair price.
At Toledo Metal Spinning Company, we are ISO certified. Defined by The American Society for Quality, ISO 9001 is defined as “the International Standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system. Organizations use the standard to demonstrate the ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements. It is the most popular standard in the ISO 9000 series, and the only standard in the series to which organizations can certify.” To be certified, an organization is required to document information, planning and determining process interactions, management of resources, including human resources and the organization’s work environment, product realization, including the steps from design to delivery, measurement, analysis, and improvement of quality management systems through audits and other preventative actions.
American made products are held to a much higher standard than some other countries in the world. Not all countries focus on quality and safety as much as we do in America, and it may be evident when importing certain products. At Toledo Metal Spinning Company, we ensure that everything we do is above and beyond the standard, and we strive to deliver our best work each and every time.
Rooted in History
Abagael Wiese from From the Forest puts it nicely, “The United States’ manufacturing industry has a history of excellence. Generations of skill, passion, and expertise are the foundation of today’s manufacturers.” This is true for Toledo Metal Spinning Company, as well as many other small businesses in the United States. We have been forming metals since 1929 – celebrating 95 years of business! Our craftsmen are extremely skilled and knowledgeable. We are very thankful to have a great team that is rooted deep within our history. Many of our employees have been with us for twenty years or more. That is special and is something that makes us different from all the rest.
On-Time Deliveries – or Sooner!
Instead of importing materials, goods, or products from overseas, Toledo Metal Spinning Company operates, manufactures, and ships directly from the Midwest. From our raw materials to the final part, we ensure each and every component is made in the U.S.A. With our facility located in Ohio, our customers can receive their custom manufactured products within a few weeks from the time they order. Stock products can be shipped out the next day and are typically received within a week anywhere in the country
Numerous foreign countries lack secure and uniform labor regulations. The United States prohibits unsafe and hazardous work environments, and enforces minimum wage standards, as well as child labor laws and OSHA regulations. Buying domestically reduces the need for foreign goods produced under unlawful or unsafe conditions. When you buy American made products, you know what you are acquiring and who or what you are supporting, which can be reassuring and offer peace of mind. Promote safe and ethical work practices by opting for American Made products!
