Not made in China

Imports, and specifically the potential or reality of consumer concerns about China. Look, as one of the few remaining domestic moulding manufacturers, Framerica has long touted the benefits of buying domestic. And the benefits are real: JIT inventory, quality and consistency, customer service. Add the eco-friendliness of BonanzaWood™ to the mix and the list, from our perspective, is formidable.

Contamination across the board

Fortunately, the list of negatives associated with importing has grown in recent months—with the contaminated pet food and lead infested toys now affecting the perceptions of consumers. We’ve begun to see labels that read: “Not Made in China” and “Lead-Free.” These are seemingly powerful indications that individuals are making buying decisions based on the reports—particularly when retailers pit domestic and imported goods against each other.

None of the above has Framerica feeling complacent – after 45 years we’ve seen enough to know that emerging countries, competitors and products are improving daily, and we will continue to do the same.

An American Competitive Edge

Framerica introduced Vintage™—a new and expansive collection of gold and silver offerings (old world patina finishes). We’re proud of them; they’re beautiful and useful, priced at a value.

Framerica has sold gold and silver mouldings for years, but not like this. While we are confident that our woods, colors, and of course our blacks can favorably compare to any moulding in the industry, the same wasn’t evident with gold and silvers…until now.

So what’s the point? Vintage™ rounds out our line to where we really can offer our customers a one stop shop. Made in America; good for the environment.
