Radio Flyer

Radio Flyer, which has its headquarters in Chicago, is best known as the manufacturer of the red toy wagon. Additionally, it sells trikes, bicycles, ride-on, and toy horses, amongst other things. With over a century of experience in the sector, the company has maintained its headquarters in the exact location. A Chicago-based toy manufacturer claimed to be “a Chicago brand” in 2004. Tricycles, scooters, and a variety of other toys are manufactured in China by a company’s subsidiary. The only exception would be the red plastic wagon, which has always been manufactured in Wisconsin. A special wagon was built to mark the company’s 80th anniversary, which was the most giant wagon globally at that time. a

Craftsman

Craftsman tools are available at various retailers, including Sears, Lowe’s, Walmart, Home Depot, and any other retailer that carries home improvement products. Even though it has manufacturing facilities in the United States, it also outsources some of its production to China and Taiwan. The parent company, which is now owned by Sears, had been the one to make this decision. Apex Tool Group manufactures the wrenches, ratchets, and sockets in China and Taiwan, respectively. On the other hand, Craftsman has a separate contract with a different tool manufacturing company, Western Forge, that produces different types of tools. Since this company manufactures the tools in the United States, the products are made in a cross-border fashion between Asia and North America.
