Made in America Challenge

In Bozeman, Montana, Anders Lewendal is hard at work building a home he hopes will be a blueprint for creating jobs in America. Lewendal, an economist turned builder, is constructing a house made entirely from American-made products. Everything from the nails, screws and bolts, to the steel, staples and bathtub is made in the United States.Lewendal is convinced that if every builder used 5% more American materials we would create 220,000 jobs right now and many economists agree.

Please take a moment by clicking here or on the image to view a short video detailing this Made in America venture featured on ABC World News.

For a complete printable list of the products Lewendal is using to build the Made in America house click here.

Mike Holt Comment: I am proud to say that all Mike Holt Products are Produced and Printed in the USA. Additionally, I’ll be building a home next year and I plan on using as many Made in America products as I can locate. I will only employ legal US citizens and will choose contractors that live within 10 miles of my home so that I can help the local economy.

If anyone has a product that they would like me to install in my home, please contact me directly at Mike@MikeHolt.com. Please help to create more jobs and use materials that are Made in America!

I was committed to having "Made in USA" on the package of my PowerSURE power failure safety light products. I searched for a US manufacturer for my receptacle and switch versions. I found only one US manufacturer that makes millions of pieces annually and they told me that I have to get them manufactured in China first and if the volumes go into the millions annually, we will talk again. This was a US manufacturer sending me away because the startup costs (engineering, tooling and molds) were too high here for the volumes that I was forecasting.

Almost all wiring devices are made in Mexico, Taiwan, or China and since my products are all wiring devices, I am not able to have them made in USA. Many of you remember PowerSURE power failure safety lights (see http://www.power-sure.com if you don't) and I continue to work to bring them to market even if I must go to China. Don't hold it against me when they're on the market.
