Radio Flyer

Radio Flyer is headquartered in Chicago and is best known for its red toy wagon. Toy horses and trikes, as well as numerous bicycles and tricycles, are also available. It has been in existence for nearly a century and is still based in the same place. The toy business promoted a Chicago brand in 2004. Despite their assertions to the contrary, they actually produce their tricycles and scooters in China. With the exception of the plastic red wagon, which has always been manufactured in Wisconsin, there are no noteworthy exceptions. Radio Flyer celebrated its 80th anniversary by creating the largest wagon in the world.

Craftsman

Craftsman tools are available at a number of home improvement retailers, including Sears, Lowe’s, Walmart, and The Home Depot. Although it has facilities in the United States, certain manufacturing is outsourced to China and Taiwan. The parent firm, which is currently controlled by Sears, made this decision. Apex Tool Group manufactures sockets, ratchets, and wrenches in China and Taiwan. Craftsman, on the other hand, has a relationship with a distinct tool maker, Western Forge. The products are manufactured in both Asia and the United States because this firm manufactures the tools in the United States.
