"In the pursuit of quality, I believe that the strength of our products is a key to the success of our brands and that whenever possible, we should manufacture what we sell. Though much of the world’s manufacturing has shifted from North American and Europe to Asia, we still build the vast majority of our products in our facilities in Seattle, USA and Cork, Ireland. This allows us to retain control over the quality and availability of what we sell, to distribute regionally, thereby minimizing wasteful shipping, and to keep jobs here at home. Because of this priority, dedicated people show up every day to make sure we continue to fulfill our promise of superior innovation, quality and service."

-John Burroughs, company co-founder and chief product tester
