Sanlo has been an American Manufacturer for over 60 years. We make our extruded and assembled products right here in Michigan City, IN. We employ local workers, train them in cable assembly manufacturing, and help them support themselves and their families. We are proud of our history and the role that we play in the local and national economy. And while we've built our business around providing the highest value for our customers, be it through engineering, sourcing, or pricing, we also take pride in supporting other American manufacturers -- and in being able to offer our customers materials that qualify to the Buy American Act.
What does this mean for Sanlo Customers?
The Buy American Act provides for preferential price treatment in federal contracts or projects funded by federal dollars for steel products Made in the USA by American Manufacturers. To qualify as an America Made product, the law stipulates that the final product must be manufactured in the United States and no less than 50% of the value of the product comes from American sources. In other words, for a wire rope or aircraft cable to comply with this requirement, it has to be stranded and closed in the USA, and that labor, plus any domestic components used (wire, hardware) must have a value greater than 50% of the total cost.
With access to the Central Wire family of wire and wire rope manufacturing companies, Sanlo can quickly source and build with Buy American Complaint material. Not just for Wire and wire rope. Hardware, fittings, extruded cable, and military specification cables can all be sourced for you, by us, and assembled here in Michigan City. Because of this connection, Sanlo can source and deliver materials for any project, eliminating your need to piece together materials form multiple vendors. It also saves you from needing to file an exemption from the Buy American Act because you either didn't know the requirements, or because the last company you sourced material through couldn't provide the proper documentation to certify to your requirements.

Why choose Sanlo for your Buy American Requirements?
In the end, to meet the Buy America, American, or general Domestic manufacture requirements means that you meet the specifications stated above. But to Buy American means more than just that: It means you are supporting a critical industry so that workers keep their paychecks and the skills they need, especially for those times when we as a country need them. So even when the law doesn't require it, it's always a good policy to support American Manufacturing and to Buy American.
