WHY DO WE MAKE IN AMERICA?
It’s a question with more than one answer.
KNOWLEDGE ALSO LIVES IN THE HANDS.
Manufacturing isn’t simply following instructions. Skill, experience and judgment accumulate in the people doing the work—and that knowledge is worth keeping.
MAKING IS PART OF DESIGNING.
A drawing or prototype is only the beginning. Materials behave differently. Construction presents problems. The act of making teaches us things we couldn’t learn on a screen.
BETTER PRODUCTS START CLOSER TO THE WORK.
Our products are designed and made under the same roof. When something isn’t working, we see it. When we find a better way to make it, we can change it.
GOOD PRODUCTS EVOLVE.
We’ve made some ARTIFACT products for more than a decade, and we’re still refining them. Feedback, repairs, wear and thousands of hours of production all find their way back into the design.
WHO MAKES IT MATTERS.
ARTIFACT products are made by people we know, working alongside us here in Omaha. Their judgment and skill are part of what you’re buying.
MADE IN AMERICA ISN’T JUST US.
Finding products still made in America isn’t always easy—especially if you’re looking for smaller, independent manufacturers.
Crafted With Pride has done the homework. Their well-researched directory brings together American-made companies and the products they make. ARTIFACT has been included since the first edition, and we’re proud to be included again in the third.
If small-batch American manufacturing matters to you, this directory is a must-have. That’s why we carry it in the ARTIFACT shop.
