Throughout EPC’s history, we have been proud to say our products are "Made in the USA." Unfortunately, labeling laws have changed. Now, if there are components of a product that are entirely or substantially manufactured outside the US – even proprietary components designed by our own engineers – we cannot legally mark that product as "Made in the USA."
EPC continually strives to source as much as we can from fellow US manufacturers. Unfortunately, that’s not always possible. To provide you the highest quality and best-performing products possible, it’s sometimes necessary to source components abroad.
When Encoder Products Company was founded in 1969, it started in the garage of Bill Watt’s suburban US home. As EPC grew, the company remained committed to keeping our manufacturing in the USA, as we do to this day. So while we can no longer label our products “MADE IN THE USA,” we can tell you we will continue to be a company that proudly keeps this manufacturing facility right here in the US.
