Built in America: Celebrating Independence and American Manufacturing

As we celebrate the Fourth of July, we’re reminded of what it truly means to be independent, from the founding of our country to the backbone of our economy: small businesses and American manufacturing.

At Mills Machine Works, we take immense pride in being a second-generation, family-owned business that represents the grit, skill, and innovation that this country was built on.

The Spirit of Independence Runs in Our Blood

Just like our nation’s founders, small manufacturers are fueled by determination, resilience, and a vision for a better future. We’re not just producing parts, we’re building opportunity.

Independence in manufacturing means:

  • Creating jobs here at home

  • Solving problems for American companies

  • Keeping critical capabilities within our borders

  • Growing strong communities through skilled trades

Why American Manufacturing Matters

Choosing American-made isn’t just about patriotism, it’s about quality, accountability, and sustainability. Domestic manufacturing supports:

  • Faster turnaround times

  • Transparent supply chains

  • High standards of precision and craftsmanship

  • Local economies that thrive when small businesses grow

Our Commitment to the Red, White, and Blue

At Mills Machine Works, we’ve built our business on pride, in our work, our values, and our country. Every part we produce carries with it a commitment to excellence, reliability, and service.

Whether it’s reverse engineering legacy parts for defense applications or producing components for companies reshoring from overseas, we’re proud to play a role in strengthening American industry.

Final Thoughts

This Fourth of July, we honor the freedoms that make entrepreneurship possible and the hard work that keeps this country running. To our team, customers, and community, thank you for supporting small business and believing in the power of American manufacturing.

From our shop floor to yours, Happy Independence Day!
