Company of the Year

Do It American MFG Company, LLC

About: Do It American MFG Company now serves some of the largest public utilities in the United States and has several large OEM customers in diverse markets such as physical fitness, aftermarket automotive, packaging, retail display, CNG, gardening tools, and other markets. Our processes include CNC machining, metal fabrication, welding, assembly, and many others. At Do It American, we believe that making high quality cost-effective product is very important; however, providing that product when the customer wants it, in the right quantity for the customer, and in a way that best supports the customer’s processes is a major factor in being a good supplier and partner. Do It American Manufacturing Company was started in 2008 at a time when the U.S. economy was in one of the worst downturns it had seen in a long time. The belief was that even in bad economic times, you can build a good manufacturing company if you do things the right way.

 Their Journey: Over the first few years of the Do It American journey we have come to realize four core values that summarize what is most important to the success of our team:

• Continuous improvement in all areas. “Everything is temporary.”
• Always make decisions with the long term perspective.
• We can manufacture cost effectively in the US.
• We do not have customers or suppliers, we have partners.

Their Purpose: Do It American is founded in the belief that manufacturing can and should be done right here in the United States. We believe that as a nation we have underestimated the importance of manufacturing to the US economy and our security. Nothing can do more to elevate our nation’s standard of living than good, productive, manufacturing jobs
