Proud to be Wisconsin Made

We're located in Brookfield, Wisconsin and we couldn't be more proud. Sure we design our Halloween costumes to fit over a snow suite, wear green and gold to church on Sundays, consider beer and cheese part of a healthy diet, and think it's pretty warm out when the temperatures finally hit 40 in May, but we wouldn't have it any other way.

We love to show our Wisconsin pride with parts made in the U.S. and all of our products assembled right here in the Badger State. Below are just some of the reasons we love where we're from.
