Huh? [&:] {Whatchu talkin' about Willis....} Are you sure about that?!? |
RE: american made treestands
How much of it has to be made here? Some are assembled here, but the parts are not. I'd be willing to bet there is not one that is american made, even if you made it yourself. Unless you also produce the parts.There are many americans who feed their families though from the distribution of any stand sold here. Does that count? Mine isfrom Michigan. North Star.

RE: american made treestands
ORIGINAL: bigbulls Summit all the way... To claim "MADE IN THE USA" only 51% of the finished product must be made here. Care to give us a link showing these stands are partially built overseas? Just wondering because the only thing I can find is that all of their stands are produced in one of two production facilities in Decatur, AL. http://www.summitstands.com/FAQ |
RE: american made treestands
Just call them and ask if they are 100% manufactured in the states.
I already knew they have some parts manufactured overseasbut called them to make 100% sure before I posted. They confirmed that they do, in fact, manufacture parts of their stands overseasas well as things like their bucksteps. Notice on the FAQ's page they never say that they are made or manufactured 100% in the states. Instead they use words like produce, built, and building. Anything can be produced or built from parts made anywhere in the world. IE... I can build a house from wood purchased in SouthAmerica. |

I just bought Family Tradition Treestands a year ago and brought it to Michigan from Florida. We've traditionally been really popular in the southeast and we're working on establishing them here in the Midwest now. The company was bought in 2003 and stopped making stands until I bought it recently.
It's a 13 year old company and, yes, ours are 100% made in the USA. We're building them here in Charlotte, Michigan. We're known for both rigidity and the comfort of our hand webbed seats. Take a look at our website if your interested in a product made right here! www.familytraditiontreestands.com Jack |

RE: american made treestands
Sorry to burst your bubble about Summit stands, but attached is the response I reveived when the question was asked of Summit:
The short answer is yes and no. It varies from stand to stand. Most of our aluminum climbers have at least some parts produced in China. Final assembly, some welding, powder coating and boxing are still here in Decatur. The steel in the steel stands is mostly sourced from China with final assembly again occurring here. Most of our standard harnesses are made in either China or Taiwan also. As of right now, the Swiftree is the only product 100% built and boxed in China. Unfortunately for us, we have to compete with many manufacturers that have 100 percent of product made in China. We are not willing to close down our manufacturing operations to take that same path. We decided to take a hybrid approach and import assemblies that have further manufacturing processes required so that we would be able to inspect the quality of the products coming in and keep a high quality level while still allowing us to be competitive in this market.
