“We believe in US manufacturing,” states Jason Kinander, owner and CEO. “We also believe very strongly in buying US-made steel, plastic, and aluminum. We can control the quality of the product because it’s being produced right here in Roselle, IL, and we have a very extensive quality control department. We have control of the process from the time raw materials come in the front door, to the time it goes in the box and on the truck to our customers.”

American Made Compliance
Liquatite® flexible conduits are proudly Build America, Buy America (BABA), Buy America (ARRA), and Buy American (BAA) Compliant, key for federally funded infrastructure projects.
Build America, Buy America (BABA) was enacted in 2021 to boost domestic industry and create U.S. jobs. Under BABA, 65% of a product’s total cost of components must be domestically sourced, and all iron and steel must be made in the United States – from the melting stage through the application of coatings. Additionally, the finished product must be manufactured in the U.S. to comply with this Act.
The Buy America Act (ARRA) was designed to encourage the use of domestically produced products for use in federal transportation construction projects, and it is administered by the Department of Transportation (DOT). Buy America requires both the product and materials used to manufacture the product to be 100% sourced and produced in the United States. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Transit Authority (FTA), and other Department of Transportation agencies can require Buy America Compliance for purchase in these transportation applications.
The Buy American Act (BAA), different from the Buy America Act, applies to all U.S. federal government agency purchases and similarly, requires products and materials to be American Made. However, Buy American requires 65% of the cost of the product’s components be mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States.
