The Story Behind Our Mission: Mark Andol Speaks at the Buffalo Rotary Club

We are thrilled to share the inspiring story behind General Welding & Fabricating and the Made in America Store, as our founder and CEO, Mark Andol, recently had the honor of speaking at the Buffalo Rotary Club. The event, held at the historic Saturn Club in downtown Buffalo, was an opportunity for Mark to share his personal journey and the driving force behind our mission to support American manufacturing.

The Power of Community Support

During his address to the Buffalo Rotary Club, Mark emphasized how crucial community support has been to the store’s success. “Our mission could not thrive without people coming together to back American-made goods,” Mark explained. “It’s not just about shopping locally—it’s about saving U.S. jobs, rebuilding industries, and showcasing pride in what this country can produce.”

The Rotary Club’s commitment to service and community building made it the perfect audience for this message. Their belief in collective action mirrors the values that guide both General Welding & Fabricating and the Made in America Store. We’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to share our story and for the Rotary Club’s recognition of the importance of supporting American manufacturing.

Looking Toward the Future

As we continue to grow and strengthen our commitment to American-made products, we’re reminded daily of the power of community efforts. Every purchase made at the Made in America Store represents a step toward revitalizing U.S. manufacturing, supporting local jobs, and securing a brighter future for American workers.

We invite you to join this movement. Whether shopping online or visiting our flagship store in Elma, your support helps preserve U.S. jobs and ensures the continued success of American manufacturing.
