Mark Andol’s Dual Mission: Strengthening American Manufacturing Through General Welding & Fabricating and the Made In America Store
A recent article by the Alliance for American Manufacturing highlights Mark Andol’s unwavering commitment to American industry through the Made In America Store and General Welding & Fabricating. His efforts to promote 100% American-made products and sustain U.S. manufacturing jobs remain crucial as discussions around fair trade and economic policies continue to shape the future of American manufacturing.
Fair Trade and the Fight for American Jobs
One of the key topics in the article is how foreign trade policies have affected U.S. manufacturing over the years. The offshoring of jobs and reliance on cheap imports have hurt American workers, making it harder for domestic manufacturers to compete. That’s why Mark Andol remains a champion of American-made goods, ensuring that everything sold at the Made In America Store is 100% sourced and manufactured in the USA.
While the Made In America Store isn’t directly impacted by tariffs, the store plays a crucial role in educating consumers on the value of buying American-made. By choosing products that are manufactured domestically, customers help sustain jobs, strengthen communities, and ensure a future for American workers.
At General Welding & Fabricating, Mark Andol sees firsthand how foreign competition affects local manufacturers. As an AWS-certified welding and fabrication company, General Welding & Fabricating prioritizes high-quality, American-made materials to build trailers, equipment, and fabricated parts that outlast foreign alternatives. The Made In America Store extends this mission by providing a retail space for American manufacturers to showcase their products, reinforcing the belief that buying American supports businesses and workers across the country.

Made In America Store: A National Movement
After losing nearly half of General Welding & Fabricating’s business to offshoring in 2008, Andol created the Made In America Store in 2010. His goal? Ensure that every product sold is 100% American-made—from raw materials to final assembly. Over the years, the store has gained national attention, becoming a symbol of American resilience and economic independence.
With tariffs and trade policies shaping the future of U.S. manufacturing, Andol continues to advocate for policies that support American businesses and workers. His efforts show that with the right policies and consumer support, American manufacturing can thrive once again.
The Future: Expanding the “Made in America” Mission
Mark Andol’s dedication to American-made products and domestic manufacturing is stronger than ever. Whether through the Made In America Store’s national retail presence or General Welding & Fabricating’s continued innovation, his mission is clear: supporting American workers and businesses by keeping manufacturing right here at home.
