Supporting American Industry with Domestically Manufactured Hose Solutions
For more than a century, the Jones Act has played an important role in supporting the U.S. maritime industry and strengthening domestic commerce. While the law is primarily focused on the transportation of goods between U.S. ports, it also underscores a broader principle that continues to shape American manufacturing today: the importance of maintaining a reliable domestic industrial base.
We are proud to contribute to that industrial foundation by manufacturing high-quality hose solutions in the United States. Our commitment to American manufacturing helps customers across marine, industrial, construction, agriculture, and oil and gas industries access dependable products backed by responsive engineering and customer support.
What Is the Jones Act?
The Merchant Marine Act of 1920, commonly known as the Jones Act, requires that cargo transported between two U.S. ports be carried on vessels that are:
- Built in the United States
- Owned by U.S. citizens
- Registered under the U.S. flag
- Crewed primarily by U.S. citizens or permanent residents
The purpose of the legislation is to help maintain a strong U.S. maritime industry capable of supporting domestic commerce, national security, and economic resilience.
Although the Jones Act governs maritime transportation—not the sourcing of industrial components—it reflects the broader value of investing in American manufacturing and supply chain capabilities.
Why Domestic Manufacturing Matters
Recent global supply chain disruptions have reinforced the importance of sourcing critical industrial products from reliable domestic manufacturers whenever possible.
Working with a U.S.-based manufacturer can provide several advantages:
Reliable Supply
Domestic production can help reduce dependence on overseas shipping schedules and international supply chain disruptions. Customers often benefit from greater availability and more predictable delivery timelines.
Consistent Quality
Manufacturing closer to the customer allows for tighter quality control, continuous process improvements, and direct oversight throughout production.
Engineering Expertise
Complex applications often require more than an off-the-shelf product. Domestic manufacturers can provide application guidance, technical support, and engineered solutions designed for specific operating conditions.
Faster Communication
When questions arise, customers can communicate directly with experienced engineering, manufacturing, and customer service teams without navigating significant time zone differences or lengthy communication channels.
Supporting American Jobs
Choosing products manufactured in the United States helps support skilled manufacturing careers, domestic suppliers, and local communities that depend on industrial production.
