Product Information

If you are serious about your tools, American-made is the way to go! “Made in the US” vs. “Assembled in the US” So if outsourcing manufacturing to other countries leaves a bad mark on the average American customer, then it begs the question – why do brands, even American brands, do it? The answer to that question is quite obvious—money. Countries like China, Japan, Taiwan, India, etc., offer much lower manufacturing costs than the U.S. Add to that lower labor costs, relaxed government regulations, and tax incentives, and making a move to shift manufacturing overseas becomes a highly profitable option. Of course, it’s important to differentiate tools that were made by Chinese manufacturers from those made in China by American manufacturers. Indeed, several manufacturers built their own manufacturing plants in China. Let’s say that this is a good middle ground—the workforce is Chinese but the quality standard is American. This way, tool manufacturers can keep production costs as low as possible while making sure the tools are well made and the materials used are high quality. However, it’s quite challenging to get information on which is which and your best bet is often to just buy 100% American products.

Last I heard HW still has everything except the caster wheels & handle made in USA. Idk why those parts were/are outsourced but at one time that was it. The entire frame & hyd cylinders are still made here Im sure. In-line pump assembly assures long life and no off-center forces for ease in pumping, aligning and reduce wearOf course, big corporations realize that outsourcing their manufacturing somewhat decreases their product’s desirability and risks reducing the overall quality. To avoid all the harmful PR surrounding foreign-made and outsourced products, some manufacturers have come up with a new idea: producing all or a fraction of the required components overseas but doing the final assembly process in the US.

Brunnhoelzl is a brand developing lightweight lifting equipment for the last 20 years. Its main aim is to increase its product’s efficiency as much as possible. That makes sense since Brunnhoelzl lifting equipment is specially designed for use in racing events and championships. Be it a multi-million dollar spectacle like Formula One or the World Rally Championship; all motorsport events have one thing in common: time is of the essence.Since the 1970s, a significant portion of the entire world’s manufacturing sector gradually started shifting to China. Yes, many US brands also outsource their manufacturing to other countries, but China accounts for the biggest share, by a significant margin. That does not necessarily mean that all “Made in China” products are inherently bad or of lower quality—but a lot of them are. Easy alignment over performs specifications, long life, designed for the discriminating professional and it's repairable Using top-grade cast iron and hydraulic pump components, Hein-Werner ensures that their brand remains a favorite for not just the private sector, but also for the military, government and other sectors who have a need for lifting solutions. The products are made in the USA with a two-year manufacturer’s warranty attached to help assure buyers of superlative quality.
