NASHVILLE, Tenn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/AuthenticallyAmerican?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#AuthenticallyAmericanlt;/agt;–While the tariff war between the US and China has generated warnings of
dire consequences, including the possibility of a global recession, Authentically
American® Founder and CEO Dean Wegner believes this
leveling of the trade playing field with China ultimately will
strengthen the US economy by expanding its manufacturing base and
ensuring American workers have jobs and can provide for their families.
“In light of the national actions and discussions about tariffs on
imported goods, Authentically American continues its strong support of
the American worker and high-quality goods made in our country,” said
Wegner, a West Point graduate, Army veteran and businessman.
“The changes in tariffs will affect the cost of foreign-made imported
products, but the best response domestic companies and individuals can
make is to view this as a unique opportunity to help US manufacturing
rebound by buying products made in the USA.”
Wegner described Authentically American as a brand that celebrates
patriotism, honors our American heroes, and believes in the American
worker.
“We were celebrating the American worker by selling premium-branded
merchandise exclusively made in the USA long before the increase in
tariffs were enacted,” he noted.
Among the company’s investors are TV broadcaster and NASCAR Hall of
Famer Darrell Waltrip. Last year Waltrip and Wegner appeared on “Fox
& Friends” to share the start-up’s story and its ambition to
build an iconic American brand that is truly American made and sets the
standard for “Made in USA” merchandise.
While organizationally branded merchandise for businesses, healthcare,
schools, nonprofits, team sports, political campaigns, etc., comprises
the largest part of Authentically American’s sales, consumers also can
make individual purchases online.
Each item displays Authentically American’s vintage USA flag logo, which
is available in a variety of colors.
Based in Nashville, Tenn., Authentically American donates 10% of its
gross profits to charities that support veterans, first responders and
their families. Its customers include businesses of all sizes, colleges,
high schools, charities, healthcare, non-profits, sports leagues and
political campaigns. The company also offers its own consumer-brand
product offering. Everything, without exception, is Made in USA. Wegner
also is host of “The
Authentically American Podcast.” For more information visit www.authenticallyamerican.us.
