The Tip is 'Email for list' I had always purchased a foreign made tennis shoe. However, after reading the Big Secret I changed. One day I needed a new pair and wondered if there were any tennis shoes Made In USA. I found a major brand that made theirs in the US. They do not make all of their shoes here but several options were available that have the Made In USA label. I looked around for awhile on the internet and could not find any reference that would help me find where to buy them. I then visited there website and emailed for a list of their Made In USA tennis shoes. A short time later I had a list. With the list in hand visited my local retailer. They carried the model I was interested in and now I have some Made In USA tennis shoes. They fit better than my foreign brand and I feel better wearing them. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Dapa Products, Inc. DAPA Products was formed with the idea of creating a small family-owned business. For years its original founders had been involved in many areas of management and distribution. Competition on plastics products had become very strong and it seemed that the only way to remain successful was to become the manufacturer rather than the distributor. DAPA was started with one extrusion line running a few hours a day, one production/warehouse employee and one of the original founders working everything in the office. At that time all products were manufactured solely for the furniture and upholstery markets with a main focus being on our Foam Welt Cord. Some time later we found that with a few additives we could make the same type products for other industries. This opened a whole new world for us with the door and window industry. Foam Screen Spline became a major focus for the company. Research throughout this market showed that companies were having a real problem with employee retention and workers comp claims related to carpal tunnel syndrome. DAPA's Foam Spline helped to reduce the stress of screening and over the past few years has become the spline of choice for many major manufacturers. Thanks to the support of our many friends and customers, a small beginning has proved to be highly successful. Today DAPA is running several extrusion lines 24 hours a day, 5 days per week. Foam Welt Cord and Foam Screen Spline are still our main products but we now provide many other products for these markets and several other industries. |
