From Setback to Success: Mark Andol’s Made in America Mission Gets National Spotlight
At General Welding & Fabricating, we believe in building things that last—just like the story behind our founder, Mark Andol.
Recently, Mark was featured on FOX Business’s Making Money to share the incredible journey behind the Made in America Store, which he also founded after facing one of the toughest moments in his career.
After losing a major part of his business to overseas outsourcing, Mark didn’t give up. He doubled down on what he believed in: American craftsmanship. In 2010, he opened the Made in America Store in Elma, NY—committed to selling 100% American-made products, no exceptions. What started as a bold idea has grown into a nationally recognized movement.
But what many don’t know is that the same values fueling the Made in America Store are the backbone of General Welding & Fabricating.
Since 1989, General Welding & Fabricating has been Western New York’s go-to source for welding repairs, trailer manufacturing, snow removal equipment, and mobile field service. We’ve built our reputation on integrity, durability, and American-made strength—just like the MSA trailers we proudly build right here in Elma.
Mark’s story isn’t just one of resilience—it’s a reminder that doing the right thing isn’t always easy, but it’s always worth it.
