Why should I buy products made in the USA?

We are proud to say our products are made in the USA! 

Caring about products that are made locally isn't just for the patriots, but should be important to everyone. There are social, economic and environmental factors that make it beneficial to supporting local manufacturers.

Manufacturing our products here in the USA allows us to have much more control over the price, quality, sustainability and availability of our products. Although there are certainly challenges to it, we are committed to creating higher quality and longer lasting products, which we believe can only be manufactured locally. Read on to see all the reasons why you should consider only supporting local manufacturers.

Availability: Because we manufacturer our own products, we are able to more efficiently manage our inventory availability. Without being subjected to long lead times from relying on shipping products oversees, we are capable of just-in-time production if necessary, in order to replenish any item that is at risk of running out of stock.

Quality: One of the most significant advantages of buying products made in the USA is the assurance of high quality. Our meticulous attention to detail and adherence to strict quality standards results in products that are safer, more durable and longer-lasting. 

Stronger Economy: In addition to superior quality, buying American-made products also has economic benefits. By supporting American manufacturers, consumers help to keep jobs and wealth within the country. This results in a more robust economy and a better standard of living for all Americans. Buying American-made products also helps to reduce the trade deficit, which is the difference between what a country exports and what it imports.

Environmental: Another benefit of buying products made in the USA is the reduction in environmental impact. Many countries that manufacture products for export have lower environmental standards than the USA. By buying products that are made in the USA, consumers can help to reduce the carbon footprint associated with transportation and manufacturing. 

Supporting Communities: And lastly, buying American-made products often means supporting local businesses and communities. By purchasing products from American manufacturers, consumers are supporting small businesses and local economies, which contributes to the strength and vitality of the community.

While it may sometimes be tempting to prioritize convenience and affordability, choosing American-made products is a smart and responsible choice that benefits everyone. So thank you for supporting Soto and every American manufacturer!
