Many times even products and parts claiming to be made in America have been found to be nothing but a fraud they purchase the steel ingredients etc in America but then ship these things to another country to be put together or made and then sent back to this country For example I use to work for Highland Industries Inc in Kernersville NC a few years back they manufactured the raw rubber for Nascar GM Ford Nissan and so on as well as the seat belt division located in another state
