About Us

 

Our Mission

The mission of American Made Matters® is to educate consumers that buying US-made products strengthens the American Dream.

 

Our Inspiration

Americans view manufacturing as the most important industry for a strong national economy.*

  • Over 5,500,000 US manufacturing jobs have been lost since 2001 according to the US Bureau of Labor and Statistics. 
  • 68% of Americans believe that America’s manufacturing industries have a significant impact on national security.*
  • 81% of Americans believe manufacturing industries have significant impact on their standard of living.*
  • US unemployment rate continues to be over 9% and has more than doubled since 2007. 
  • American manufacturers need support to emphasize that US produced products offer:
    • Greater reliability about_us_1
    • More durability
    • Better fitness for purpose
    • Superior innovation
    • Enhanced safety
    • Less energy to transport to market
    • More environmentally friendly production with EPA and state environmental compliance 
  • American manufacturers need a unified voice and members will be able to tell their own story and use the logos of American Made Matters® which consumers will come to recognize and seek.
  • The American Made Matters® brand seeks to stop the rapid decline of manufacturing jobs in the United States of America and rebuild those jobs through a common branding identity and call to action.
  • American manufacturers need a forum for information sharing and networking opportunities. American Made Matters® will provide an ability to ask questions and share experiences with other members who face similar challenges.
  • American manufacturers need a way to promote their brands and products.  Members will have their logos prominently displayed on our website with a link to their own websites. All members will have an opportunity to participate in themed public relations campaigns to promote awareness of US made products.
