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. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Wayne Automation Wayne Automation Corporation, a privately held corporation, started building innovative, quality packaging machinery in 1976. The company's principles came from a background in the design and manufacture of paper converting machinery. Recognizing the trends of the packaging industry at the time, the company began by building machines to automate the assembly and insertion of partitions along with automatic case erectors and tray formers. Due to the rugged construction and reliable performance of the Wayne equipment, our systems became a popular choice in the glass and plastic container industry where 24/7 operation demanded our caliber of equipment. Recognizing that manufacturers buying their containers in bulk and those not using containers also needed the same quality of machinery, Wayne began designing and building packaging solutions for companies from food and beverage to chemical and petroleum to household and personal care products. Through this outgrowth, Wayne's packaging technology became some of the most innovative in the industry, and that creativity continues today. We offer the highest speeds in case erecting. We are the premier supplier of partition handling equipment and offer capabilities beyond any other machinery on the market. We have taken this technology to greater heights by offering case and tray packing systems which incorporate the insertion of partitions around containers positioned on the wraparound, case, or tray. And our tray formers accommodate more tray styles than any other manufacturer. Always staying true to our commitment to providing our customers with reliable packaging machinery, our use of advanced electronics make each system a smart machine. Operators can easily communicate with the equipment while built-in sensors provide valuable feedback throughout the packaging process. To prove our confidence in our reliability, Wayne provides a written guarantee that all equipment will run at 99% efficiency with less than 1/8 of 1% material loss. Wayne Automation Corporation is located outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, approximately three miles from the historic Valley Forge Park. The facility is an easy 40 minute commute from the Philadelphia International Airport. |
