This is the inaugural year of their national convention and will feature over 800 companies showcasing American manufacturing and American made products. The event will include educational sessions, keynote addresses, and panel discussions with several manufacturing specialists and professionals from key segments of the manufacturing community.

The exhibitors participating in the event come from across the country to represent their American made goods. This includes Gordon BrushMfg. Co., Inc., who, in addition to being an exhibitor, is a GOLD sponsor ofthe 2019 MADE IN AMERICA convention.

"I feel that it is important for Gordon Brush® to show strong support for this event that will celebrate American manufacturers and American made goods. That is why I decided to exhibit and be a Gold sponsor," said Ken Rakusin. "We’ve said for many years now that patriotism is paramount at Gordon Brush. Even under competitive threats, and low-cost Chinese knockoffs and counterfeit goods, the Company has been steadfast in its philosophy and commitment to manufacturing in the United States. Gordon Brush never considered off-shore manufacturing to become more price competitive."

"Our American made products give us the ability to display our patriotism and pride and to create feelings of goodwill when our customers receive American-made items. Gordon Brush is Proud To Be An American Manufacturer™," added Rakusin.
