What a USA-Made Expert is Saying

“All Swiss Krono USA manufacturing, management, marketing, and customer service are based in Barnwell, S.C., for two reasons. First, we are employing American workers in well-paying, highly skilled jobs to craft some of the best products in the world. Cheap laminate floors produced in third-world countries simply don’t meet the quality standards Americans have come to expect…Second, we think it is important to support the American economy. We urge all consumers to verify where the products they are buying were made, then to buy American. It means quality and safety, and for some, it means a job!” — Swiss Krono
