The Tip is 'Don't procrastinate' For years I've been buying ink jet cartridges from a big box office supply store. These cartridges were made overseas and labeled with the well-known brand of a large American printer company. One I remembered a local store that advertised quality cartridges. I had traveled by this local store hundreds of times but never stopped. This time I stopped at the local store. To my surprise I discovered that they carried the cartridge I needed and it was a Made in USA cartridge. Made in Chicago, to be precise, and it was half the price of the imported ones I had been buying for years. The quality is exceptional and they last longer too. Who knew? After that experience, I make a point to stop at every store I can. By doing so, I've been finding more and more Made in America products. Occasionally the clerks don't know the country of origin; this can be discouraging but finding the origin information yourself isn't difficult I've come to realize. Believe it not, there are actually a number of computers made in the US including laptops made in the USA. When the label is not visibly displayed I use the other Made in America buying tips to help me find Made in US. If the store doesn't carry what you are looking for, use Made in America Secrets to find it and tell the manager about your experience at their store. If enough people are asking for Made in America products stores will begin to carry them.

Our products are widely used for industry and military. AAK has been a long term supplier to many of the top 500 corporations, US and NATO military services, laboratories, energy, chemical, and electronic industries. AAK produces a select group of modular power sources which allows us to attain high production efficiency and greater purchasing power. The cost saving is passed along to our customers in the way of lower pricing. Reliably designed circuitry and maximum exterior heat sinking enable our modules to operate 3?C to 5?C below competitive equivalents. (Many equivalent encapsulated models lack the exterior aluminum heat sinking to transfer accumulated heat through the heat resistive epoxy shell). Various MTBF surveys have shown that power supply life may be extended years by lowering operating temperature only a few degrees. |
