Commitment to American Manufacturing
All products manufactured by Bingham & Taylor are 100% Proudly Made in the USA and fully comply with the American Iron & Steel (AIS) and Build America Buy America (BABA) Acts.
At Bingham & Taylor, we proudly support the infrastructure of the United States by ensuring all our products comply with both the American Iron & Steel (AIS) Act and the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA). These Acts are fundamental to maintaining and enhancing our national infrastructure through the exclusive use of American-made materials.
The AIS Act ensures that all iron and steel products used in public water systems or treatment works funded by the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) or the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) are produced in the United States. This compliance supports domestic manufacturing and guarantees the highest quality in every product we offer, providing our customers with assurance that they are investing in products that meet rigorous federal requirements for quality and sustainability.
Building on this commitment, the BABA Act, enacted as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act on November 15, 2021, mandates that all materials used in federally funded infrastructure projects, including iron, steel, and other significant components, are manufactured in the USA—from the initial melting process to the final application of coatings. Our adherence to these strict standards not only supports American manufacturing but also contributes to economic growth and the resilience of national infrastructure. We maintain rigorous documentation to ensure compliance with both AIS and BABA, reflecting our dedication to fostering American industry and labor.
By choosing Bingham & Taylor, you are assured of products that are 100% made in the USA, supporting federal regulations and enhancing your project’s compliance and sustainability.
