Background
Julie Reiser, Co-founder of MADE IN USA CERTIFIED® recognized this huge opportunity within the marketplace while publishing their print magazine called Made in USA Magazine in 2004 / 2005. After interviewing many U.S. manufacturers for editorials they quickly discovered there were a large number of companies falsely using the “Made in U.S.A.” claim in almost every industry sector and there was no active third party oversight for the use of the claim. Legitimate U.S. manufacturers not only were being forced to compete with companies outsourcing and under pricing them, but, also against competitors who were falsely claiming “Made in USA”. Additionally, polls and market trending services showed increasing preference on the part of the American consumer to purchase items marketed as “Made in U.S.A.”.
As a result, Julie realized a real need for a third party, independent verification company to act as the national standard for the claim of “Made in U.S.A.”. She envisioned a company that encouraged manufacturers to be fully transparent thus keeping consumers safe from false, misleading claims. She saw MADE IN USA CERTIFIED® as a non-partisan platform for supporting manufacturing, farming and service in the United States while at the same time encouraging consumers to purchase U.S. goods and services. Through these efforts the company actively supports sustainable jobs, new hiring, and economic growth while reversing the harmful trend of outsourcing American jobs and U.S. dollars. The company recognizes the critical role it plays as an advocate for proper U.S. legislation that facilitates U.S. business investment, tax incentives for domestic production and the need to level the global playing field for balanced trade.
