Buying American Made

Buying American Made: Why It Matters Now More Than Ever

At Garza Supply, we believe in supporting American-made products to the best of our ability. It’s more than a purchasing decision — it’s a commitment to strengthening our communities, supporting hardworking families, and reinforcing the backbone of our economy.

We constantly strive to source American-made or North American–made products from our manufacturers. Even our three primary equipment lines reflect that commitment:

  • Gator Equipment – Family-owned and proudly manufactured in the USA

  • GRIZZLY – Canadian made

  • All Seasons – Canadian made

In addition, one of our leading PPE manufacturers produces 95% of their equipment in the United States. When you purchase one of their hard hats featuring the American-made logo, you’re not just buying safety equipment — you’re supporting American jobs and American workers.

Now more than ever, American-made products should matter.

Why Buying American Matters

Our economy has taken a significant toll in recent years, particularly following COVID-19. Local businesses and American manufacturing need our support to restore strength and vitality.

It wasn’t always this way. Decades ago, most products on store shelves were American made . But since the late 1990s, American manufacturing has steadily declined. Many U.S. companies moved factories — and the jobs they provided — to countries where labor costs were lower, such as China and Mexico.

However, there is encouraging news.

The Reshoring Initiative, a nonprofit organization focused on restoring American manufacturing jobs, reports that more than 300 companies have moved production back to the United States since 2010, creating approximately 240,000 new jobs. The “Made in USA” label — while still not as common as it once was — is gradually making its return.

Now more than ever, buying American-made products should matter.

Over the past several years, our economy has faced significant challenges. COVID-19 placed tremendous strain on businesses across the country, particularly local and small manufacturers. Supply chains were disrupted, production slowed, and many companies struggled to maintain operations. Supporting American-made products is one practical way we can help restore economic vitality and resilience within our own communities.

What “Buy American” Really Means

To “Buy American” means:

  • Supporting businesses that treat workers fairly

  • Supporting companies that pay livable wages

  • Keeping production and jobs within our borders

  • Strengthening local communities and national infrastructure

For those who take pride in their communities and country, buying American made products is more than patriotic — it’s purposeful.

Americans Care More Than You Think

It’s easy to assume today’s consumers only care about saving money. But research suggests otherwise.

A 2013 Consumer Reports study found:

  • 78% of respondents were more likely to purchase from a company if its products were American made.

  • 75% cared whether the company had manufacturing plants in their home state.

  • 92% cared about how much the company gave back to the local community.

While no single study represents every American, it clearly shows that consumers value how companies operate and where products are made. For many, buying decisions are not just financial — they are value-driven.

Our Commitment at Garza Supply

We work hard to source American made and North American–made products whenever possible. We believe in supporting family-owned businesses, domestic manufacturers, and companies that invest in their workers and communities.

  • Promote fair labor practices

  • Reinforce the values that built this country
