Plenty of windows and doors manufactured right here in Georgia.
Also, a cookware rep at Bed Bath Beyond told me that Calphalon cookware was made in the US.
Most New Balance shoes are made in the US. All of them used to be.
Vera Wang tries to make all of her fashions and home goods using US made fabrics and with US labor. She recently stated that her favorite fabric manufacturers were either leaving the country or out of business. She is being forced to go overseas to get what she needs or go out of business.
Most Michelin tires are US made. Not all.
I had an 84 Mercedes 300DT that was the best made car I ever drove bar none. Wish I hadn't sold it.
Interestingly enough "French" Brie cheese comes from Wisconsin! Yay!
I do try to support American Made, but it will depend on the quality. If an AM company produces an inferior product...well the end result is they go out of business. Sometimes..long standing American companies "dumb down" their quality and no one is the wiser until something hits the fan. Pyrex is an example. Pyrex glass USED to be some of the best in the world. It was actually made European style and was tough as nails. Pyrex (and other US glass makers) have changed their formulas to cheap out. The result is glassware/bakeware that has become dangerous under certain circumstances. The issue is currently being closely watched. Look for a class action soon. By the way...European glass is still made the old fashioned way...sturdy.
Speaking of glass... American Made PPG windshields.. I went through 3 of them before finally getting one that was acceptable. Meaning it only had a few flaws. The one I have now is an GM OEM... made by PPG with some flaws. The OEM in my cousins Escalade is atrocious. Everything is wavy and she has headaches.
So, yes, let's keep that list growing. Good to know what we still can do. Support good quality producers.

A lot of Calphalon is made in China. Look on the bottom of the pan to see where is was made. All Calphalon sold at Target is made in China and at one time some was from Columbia.

Michelin is a French company and has been since it's start up. Yes some Michelin tires are made in the USA, but Michelin has a lot of factories in other countries.
I don't have a breakdown of which country makes the most Michelin tires, but I'm not sure if it is the USA.
BTW, I agree with the intent of this thread and acknowledge that the USA does make some excellent products. The knife in my pocket is a Buck, the 4 vehicles in my garage and parking lot are GM vehicles and all have components made in the USA.
My Porter-Cable and Delta tools...all bought 20-25 years ago, are all USA made.
I have had very little problems with the USA made products. The American stuff I have is well designed, well made, reliable and durable.
