\n

For over forty years, Pro Tapes\u00ae has provided our customers with high-quality products that are proudly manufactured in the U.S.A.<\/a>, and distributed across the globe. Far too often, you read about U.S. based manufacturers moving their production overseas to take advantage of tax loopholes, or cheap foreign labor, but outsourcing and offshoring have never been part of our strategic planning.<\/p>\n

There are many reasons why Pro Tapes\u00ae calls the U.S.A. home, but here are the top five reasons we have chosen to stay red, white, and blue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Creating Jobs<\/h3>\n

When companies move portions of their operations overseas, they\u2019re also moving jobs there too, and in the process eliminating them here at home. By keeping Pro Tapes\u00ae in the United States, there are jobs being kept and created for future generations. This then aids in improving the economy and quality of life for our citizens. As Pro Tapes\u00ae continues to reinvest in equipment and our people, we\u2019re also investing in a strong, growing U.S. economy, which creates a positive cycle. Creating jobs as well helps promote perhaps one of America\u2019s greatest necessities- which happens to be our next reason.<\/p>\n

2. Security through Independence<\/h3>\n

An over- reliance on importing, particularly for critical components & materials, leaves you vulnerable to the volatility of an unpredictable global market. Partnering closely with domestic suppliers allows Pro Tapes\u00ae greater control over quality, consistency and delivery. For hundreds of years, independence and self-sufficiency have been key elements to our great country\u2019s success, why wouldn\u2019t you want the same for your supply chain?<\/p>\n

3. Quality of Goods and Services<\/h3>\n

When relying on importing to produce a desired product, you can\u2019t always have \u201cboots on the ground\u201d to ensure the quality you demand is being met. With products being produced domestically, here at home, we have much better control of our tape being converted, packaged and shipped on time, without sacrificing quality or service to our customers.<\/p>\n

\"certified\"<\/p>\n

4. Save the Earth!<\/h3>\n

Advancements in U.S. based manufacturing techniques have helped to make the U.S. one of the cleanest industrial manufacturing economies in the world. As environmental issues have grown in importance over the years, Pro Tapes\u00ae has been committed to actively taking steps in being more ecologically responsible in creating a more \u201cgreen\u201d approach in the way we produce our quality tape products.<\/p>\n

5. Labor Issues<\/h3>\n

Corporate responsibility is a major component of our organizational values. Far too often the quest for lower cost goods have lead some manufacturers, particularly in economically under developed regions of the world, to take shortcuts when it comes to employee safety and fair compensation. Pro Tapes\u00ae has always prided ourselves on our stellar track record of providing our employees with a safe, clean work environment, while providing them with highly competitive wages, profit sharing and generous benefits. And we fully expect all of our vendors to share the same sense of corporate responsibility and concern when it comes to workers\u2019 rights and working conditions.<\/p>\n

\"usa-labor\"<\/p>\n

\n

These top five reasons why Pro Tapes\u00ae has and will always stay a \u201cMade in the USA\u201d company contributes to our overall mission and vision statements and quality control policy.<\/p>\n

Pro Tapes\u2019\u00ae #1 priority is to provide the best combination of quality, price and service in the industry. Our aim is not to just meet our customers\u2019 expectations, but to exceed them.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

OUR MISSION<\/h4>\n

To provide our customers with innovative solutions that go beyond the products we manufacture. We are committed to improving the way our customers apply, assemble, bond, hold & seal with the products we create & the services we provide.<\/p>\n

OUR VISION<\/h4>\n

Pro Tapes\u00ae is committed to being the world\u2019s premier converter of pressure sensitive adhesives. We foster a culture in which our people openly collaborate, respect & value diverse views & opinions, and adhere to the highest standards of business conduct. Functioning as one team, with one goal; to consistently exceed our customer\u2019s expectations.<\/p>\n

OUR QUALITY POLICY<\/h4>\n
