Suppliers
We source materials and supplies from a mix of domestic and international suppliers. Below is a summary of countries of origin for the materials and supplies we currently use, have used in the past, and are evaluating for future use.
Although we prefer and strive to use raw materials from American suppliers, we may at times use global suppliers for some materials when domestic suppliers are not available or feasible. The amount of US vs. global material used varies by product and may change over time. We will attempt to keep each product page updated with its domestic vs. global materials use as best as possible.
