The Tip is 'Made In America Secrets' We needed some new towels recently and I remembered coming across your website. I thought I would give it a quick search to see if there were any Made in America towels sold nearby. It just so happened that when I did the search, I found there was a nearby reseller listed who carried the particular Made in the USA towels I wanted. We bought the towels and, not surprisingly, they are both more absorbent and better looking than I thought. Made in America Secrets has thousands of products made in America offered by hundreds of small manufacturers. These small companies are a big contributor to our economy. According to one study small businesses (those employing 1 to 99 employees) comprise 98% of all the USA businesses. That's equivalent to 5.8 million businesses employing over 40 million people. Most American's are unaware of how significant small business is when compared to the total size of the US economy. This website is aware of it and that is why 99% of the businesses that advertise on Made in America Secrets are small businesses. I now use this site to search for small companies especially since more than likely it is a small company that employs someone I know- my wife, my children, my friends. 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. |
