AMERICAN MANUFACTURING

USA Manufacturing

QSSI continues to invest in advanced U.S. manufacturing processes, technology, and infrastructure. These investments strengthen domestic production and support the future of American manufacturing. ​The result is more high-quality, American-made BABA and BAA products, the creation and sustainability of American jobs, and reduced dependence on overseas manufacturing.

​

As a privately held, family-owned American company, we believe reshoring is more than a business strategy—it is a long-term commitment to our customers, our workforce, and the U.S. economy. QSSI is proud to contribute to the U.S. by making more of the products it needs at home. 

​

Our goal is to drive innovation, improve quality and responsiveness, and contribute to a stronger, more self-sufficient, and more resilient American manufacturing industry.

What is BABA

The acronym BABA stands for Build America, Buy America Act. It's a federal law that aims to prioritize the use of American-made materials and products in federally funded infrastructure projects. The goal is to boost domestic manufacturing, create jobs, and stimulate the economy. (reference delaware.gov)

Benefits of USA Manufacturing:

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 dependence 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 (BAA & BABA) - 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. QSSI's American-made lighting products are proven to last longer than cheap, faulty products produced overseas and are serviceable. This significantly reduces waste sent to landfills.
