Did you know that the ZooKeeper is exclusively made in the USA?
Yep!
Firstly, what is considered made in the USA? The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) states
"According to the Federal Trade Commission, “Made in USA” means that “all or virtually all” the product has been made in America. That is, all significant parts, processing and labor that go into the product must be of U.S. origin."
Allie originally designed the ZooKeeper prototypes while traveling back and forth between Curacao and the US.
- ZooKeeper has a US patent with all the parts engineered in the US.
- Each part that is assembled comes from within the US.
- The mold-injected patented parts and tubes come from US manufacturers.
- ZooKeeper is located in Sunrise, Florida, USA
- The ZooKeepers are assembled and shipped from the facility in Sunrise.
Do your research as competitor containment units are not “made in the USA”. The quality and safety of particular products is much less.
Why is it important to shop USA?
- Well, we all need to support small US businesses and manufactured items.
- If you need a replacement part it can be resolved immediately by shipping out that needed piece directly from the Sunrise facility.
- If shipped from China it could take some time for delivery.
- Quality – the quality of the product usually is much better when you purchase made in the US. American made goods are generally of a higher quality than those made in other parts of the world.
- American-made products keep jobs in America.
- Promoting American-made products makes an impact.
