The Tip is 'Before You Buy' Made in America Secrets tries to send you to internet stores that sell the Made In USA products you searched for. We try to link you directly to only Made In USA products, however sometimes this does not happen. When you click our banner / link ads the store we link you to may show you products that are imported alongside those that are Made In USA. We all know most retailers sell products that are made and come from all over the world including the USA. Therefore, our tip is look at the details before you buy the product. This is true for both brick and mortar stores and internet retailers. Any Made in America store that represents selling only Made in USA products can be believed but check them anyway. They will appreciate your help. Here is a great example of a very reputable Made in America Store. Our site is similar to a few others that I call "Indexers". These sites offer lists like an index. These indexes relate companies to the products they sell. There are a few, like this site, that provide an index of Made in America companies and their products. You can use the indexes (like I have done at times) to find a particular product and the companies that make it. Our site has many features like our buy tips that are unique and valuable. We add buying tips regularly so don't forget to check them out, as they will help you find and buy great Made In America products. Some of these sites are a good resource if you are looking for the manufacturer of a specific product. However you should first check their accuracy because some are not maintained as well as others. Some allow inaccurate and inappropriate ads, others like Made In America Secrets maintain the accuracy of their indexes and do not allow inappropriate advertisements. We continually try to improve our links and we solicit your help and ideas to make our site even better. You can contact us by email, mail, or phone and we will try our very best to respond promptly.

About Keith Ritter, President & CEO In March of 2002, I made a decision to leave the corrugated packaging industry and joined the company my father had spent his life helping to build. In my first position with the company I was the District Sales Manager for the Southeastern United States. I traveled and worked with flooring distributors and dealers across 13 states from Arkansas to Virginia to Miami,Florida. Over the next 3 years I was promoted to Director of National Accounts Tarkett in North America. This included Tarkett Wood (my start into the wood flooring industry), Domco by Tarkett, Tarkett Commercial, Azrock Commercial, Nafco by Tarkett and Tarkett Residential. I was responsible for managing all of our National Accounts for N. America. After 5 years working for manufacturers, I joined Abbey Carpet and Floor as the hard surface merchandising and product manager for the entire network of dealers. This experience allowed me to learn how manufacturers can help dealers and these are practices that we have put to work within our company Karlson Hardwood Floors brand. Our History In October 2008, I began putting together a plan for a hardwood flooring company while weighing the pro's and con's of leaving my job with my current employer to venture out on my own during the worst economic times we had seen since the great depression. It was a very difficult decision to weigh out, especially during these economically challenging times, however, I wanted to be apart of creating something that would help to rebuild America and produce the best available wood flooring and related products in North America. Karlson Hardwood Floors has grown from a vision in 2008 to a growing family owned company in 2013. We offer protected territories and relationships with our dealers and distributors across North America. I believe relationships and honesty with our dealers and partners across the United States and Canada will continue to help both Karlson Hardwood Floors and our exclusive dealer network become one of the best known flooring producers in N. America over the next few years. Our mission has always been the same: To offer unique and affordable products to our customers, while maintaining the highest standards of excellence in manufacturing and quality. We believe in supporting our country, our family, and the qualities that helped us to become such a great Nation. Karlson Hardwood Floors will always be focused on being apart of the solution, rather than being apart of the problem. As a family owned company, we are committed to offering unique and affordable wood floors to our customers, while maintaining our high standards of excellence as a manufacturer.
