TESCO's Recognition in NEMA's Make It American™ Program

TESCO Metering has proudly earned a significant accolade by becoming one of the first manufacturers certified under the National Electrical Manufacturers Association's (NEMA) initiative, the Make It American™ program. This achievement highlights TESCO's unwavering commitment to domestic manufacturing and compliance with the Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act.

Setting the Standard for Domestic Manufacturing

As a pilot partner in this program, TESCO is paving the way for what it means to adhere to domestic manufacturing standards in the electric utility industry. The recognition validates TESCO's core operations, which take place within its Bristol, PA facility, emphasizing its focus on producing all essential products and components domestically. Their vertically integrated approach ensures quality control across the entire manufacturing process—from design and engineering to machining and final assembly.

The NEMA certification is crucial as it enables manufacturers and procurement officials to identify facilities that have met rigorous standards and best practices aimed at enhancing U.S. manufacturing capabilities. This is particularly pertinent for companies seeking to bolster compliance with BABA guidelines.

Comprehensive Manufacturing Capabilities

TESCO’s supply chain was rigorously vetted through a third-party audit, resulting in the company receiving both Supply Chain Process and Product Certification. These certifications serve as evidence of TESCO’s adherence to stringent domestic content requirements. ###

The significance of this recognition lies not just in the certification but also in TESCO’s expansive range of manufacturing capabilities. Their facility is equipped to handle every step of production, providing clients with high-quality, tailored solutions.

Supporting U.S. Manufacturing Growth

Tom Lawton, TESCO's President and CEO, underscored the importance of this initiative, stating, “For over a century, TESCO has engineered and built the products that keep our power grid accurate and reliable.” He emphasized that their participation in the Make It American program highlights their dedication to ensuring that U.S. utility customers receive the best equipment that is proudly manufactured at home.

Debra Phillips, President and CEO of NEMA, also praised TESCO's initiative, stating that their leadership exemplifies a strong dedication to not only generating quality jobs within the United States but also enhancing the national energy infrastructure. This leadership sets a vital benchmark for the industry.

TESCO's dedication to domestic manufacturing extends beyond their metering products. Their Dial Machine Division is also geared towards offering contract manufacturing services, aiding other Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and tech companies in their efforts to reshore production to the U.S. With full in-house capabilities including CNC machining and design-for-manufacturing support, TESCO is uniquely positioned to meet the needs of various critical components.
