Green Leaf moves production back to U.S.

GREEN LEAF, Incorporated, a manufacturer of liquid handling products located in Fontanet, Indiana, is moving production of its some of its products being manufactured in China to its U.S. facility.  Many factors aided in Green Leaf’s return to domestic manufacturing, including increased energy and labour costs abroad, which are making America a cheaper place to manufacture goods.

Around 70 products currently being manufactured in China will be produced in the U.S. to bring its total products being manufactured in the U.S. to nearly 90%, according to Pete Goda, President of Green Leaf.

In particular, the company is expanding its Gator Lock production cam lever couplings in various sizes. Gator Locks feature a locking mechanism and interchangeability that are unique to the marketplace. The spring mechanism provides enhanced safety that reduces the potential loss of chemicals, protecting the environment and the expense of replacing spilled chemicals.

In addition to celebrating the increased numbers of American made Green Leaf products, the company is also commemorating its 35th year in business with the introduction of a new brand and website.

Green Leaf, Incorporated began manufacturing products for the agricultural industry in 1979 and has grown to specialise in designing and manufacturing injection moulded nylon and polypropylene liquid handling products. Keeping pace with technology, Green Leaf utilises fully automated robotics in its manufacturing and the latest equipment in product marking and special packaging. Green Leaf products are available through various distribution networks and retail outlets.
