Made in America Bottle Openers.
Hi, I'm David Brim, owner of Brown Manufacturing and passionate bottle opener manufacturer. Founded in the late 1990's, www.BottleOpener.com started as an advertising website for Brown Manufacturing Company. It has since evolved into the retail and wholesale division of Brown Manufacturing Company.
The site also includes historical information on the company and its bottle openers.
About Brown Mfg. Company
Back in the days when most beverages were sold in glass bottles, there was a need for a bottle opener that would not crack or break the bottle. In 1925, Raymond Coca-Cola Brown, an owner of several bottling plants, started Brown Manufacturing in Newport News, Virginia. This company held some of the original patents for a bottle opener that would become internationally renowned for its quality. Over the years, STARR bottle openers have become collectible because of their long history, trademark and variety of designs. Today these bottle openers are still produced by Brown Mfg. Company for bottlers, breweries, wholesalers, distributors, retailers and other manufacturers. We believe that Brown Mfg. Company is the oldest bottle opener manufacturer in the USA, if not the world!
Brown Manufacturing is currently located in Decatur--near Atlanta, Georgia, USA
The following is a reply from Starr to our question – "Are your products Made in America?"
How do you know the products you have listed are Made in the USA?
Before including products in our database we review the advertiser’s website and/or contact them to ascertain the origin of their products. Some advertisers sell both Made in USA products and foreign ones. Therefore we highly recommend you review FAQ 2.
We immediately investigate any complaints regarding deceptive Country of Origin claims. If we determine an advertiser's claim is not truthful we will immediately remove the product/s from our database and suspend our relationship with the Company making the claim.
To document your complaint, email us by using our Contact Us page. We can only respond to complaints that have been submitted in writing.
What does Made in USA mean?
There is no law requiring most products to be labeled Made In USA, or have any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes (see our Big Secret tab), if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on its label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. This is true because the product without the country origin on its label has at least some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.
Note: Imported products are required by law to country of origin on their label and products partially Made In USA do not. To answer this question completely reviewing our Labeling Tips 1, 2 & 3. These tips are accessible from scrolling to the bottom of our home page clicking Browse All Tips button.
