All Geckodrive products are proudly designed, manufactured, and shipped from our warehouse in Santa Ana, California, USA. For us, American-made manufacturing is not just about being part of a marketing trend. Manufacturing American-made products is the core of who we are as a company.

There are endless economic and social benefits to making – and buying – USA-made products. Here are our top 5:

Why buy American made products?

1. You're supporting the US economy

"When you buy U.S.A. made products, the proceeds remain in the U.S. economy. The money you spend then pays the workers that directly or indirectly created the product you purchased. When workers spend their money on U.S.-made products, the dollars continue to be recycled. Every American worker also pay taxes on wages earned in America."

2. It supports safe and fair working conditions

"Importing countries have little or non-existent regulations or standards for working conditions. By keeping our dollars in the U.S., we are not supporting these horrible working conditions (long hours, exploitation of children, extremely low wages, etc.)."

3. It ensures safe, quality products

"Foreign product safety standards are low. For example, poisonous levels of lead are in tens of millions of toys shipped to the USA. When you buy toys and other goods made in the USA, you can be confident that American consumer protection laws and safety standards are in place to protect your family."

4. It creates jobs for Americans

"As the US manufacturing ability fades, future generations of US citizens will be unable to find relevant jobs. Buy American and help keep your friends and neighbors-and even yourself-earning a living wage."

5. You will lower your carbon footprint

"The shorter the distance a product has to travel to get to you, the fewer fossil fuels required to get it there. Many countries manufacturing goods for sale in America do not enforce the level of environmental protection regulations that exist in the US. EPA regulations help keep our air, land, and water clean for future generations. Purchasing goods made in America helps us keep our carbon footprint to a minimum."
