woodworking manufacturers announced today that they were forming a new
company with factories in the United States to make woodworking tools

corporate headquarters in Taiwan, but all production facilities
located in California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. JIZM's CEO,

aliens crossing into the United States, we can pay them less than we
pay our workers here to make the same products over there. " My Wang

the American woodworking tool manufacturer. Now we can give them real
"Made in the USA "goods at a price that is competitive and we won't
have to ship it overseas"
