Sustainability
Subtitle
QSSI is actively investing in U.S. manufacturing processes and technology to help restore and strengthen American production. By expanding our domestic capabilities, we are committed to creating high-quality products, supporting American jobs, and reducing reliance on foreign manufacturing.
Our goal is to drive innovation and contribute to a more self-sufficient and resilient U.S. manufacturing industry.
By investing in bringing manufacturing back to America, we are reshoring and shifting production and factory jobs back to the U.S. from other countries.
​
It’s about rebuilding America’s ability to make its own products instead of relying on overseas manufacturing.
As a privately held, family-owned American company, we are investing in reshoring (bringing manufacturing back to America) because it strengthens our business, our future and our economy.

​
Key Factors:
1. Creates American Jobs - Onshoring supports local communities by creating high-quality, well-paying jobs.
​
2. Strengthens the U.S. Economy - Manufacturing in the U.S. keeps money, investments and production in the country, supports local businesses, and boosts economic growth.
​
3. Improves Supply Chain Reliability - Domestic production reduces dependance on foreign suppliers and risks from global disruptions, such as shipping delays, trade conflicts, or pandemics.
​
4. Ensures Higher Quality and Innovation - U.S. manufacturing follows strict quality standards, leading to better products and more innovation. All design engineering and product development is done on American soil.
​
5. Reduces Dependence on Foreign Suppliers - Producing goods in America decreases reliance on other countries, improving national security and economic stability.
​
6. Meets Government and Customer Demand - Many federal contracts require Buy American Act (BAA) or Build America, Buy America Act (BABA) compliance. Engineers, specifiers, architects, and customers are increasingly requesting American-made products. To accommodate the growing demand, we offer an extensive line of BAA and BABA lighting products.
​
7. Supports Sustainability - Manufacturing in the U.S. using advanced technology can reduce environmental impact by using cleaner energy and cutting down on overseas shipping emissions.
Reshoring helps companies like ours become more competitive, resilient, and aligned with U.S. economic and security priorities while providing long-term benefits to workers and communities.
