eSheaves.com is part of the Loos & Co., Inc. family of products and companies that have been supporting American manufacturing for over 60 years. With a focus on domestic sources for materials to meet a diverse set of sourcing requirements, we rely on the output of domestic mills for raw feed stock, including our copper, aluminum, and multiple grades of steel and stainless steel. We are proud to offer the same Made in America raw materials that we use for Military Specification Hardware, Copper and Aluminum Sleeves, and cable assembly tools for our esheaves.com steel pulleys and sheaves.
What does Buy American mean?
The Buy American Act provides for preferential price treatment in federal contracts or projects funded by federal dollars for steel products Made in the USA by American Manufacturers. To qualify as an America Made product, the law stipulates that the final product must be manufactured in the United States and no less than 95% of the value of the product comes from American sources. In other words, for a wire rope or aircraft cable sheave to comply with this requirement, it has to be manufactured in the USA, and that labor, plus any domestic components used (steel, stainless steel) must have a value greater than 95% of the total cost.
Are there other sourcing requirements in the Wire Rope Sheave Industry? Yes.
How do you specify a sheave to meet the above requirements?
Conclusion: At Loos & Co., Inc., we understand the sourcing requirements for the many Made in USA steel wire rope sheave regulations governing contracts and procurement.
