(ARRA) Specification Guide

What is the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)

Crescent/Stonco Will Help Strengthen Your Company and Our Nation
Crescent/Stonco, a Philips Group Brand, is expanding our corporate effort to be environmentally driven for a sustainable future. We are investing more in America with new plants and equipment and first-rate American workforce. Finally, we continue to expand our research and development to produce the most innovative products available.
We Support Buy American in All Phases of Manufacturing
Another important part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is the Buy American Provision. We deal with approximately 300 American raw material suppliers, and a large portion of the materials we buy are recycled instead of raw. Examples include recycled steel, aluminum coils and sheets, aluminum castings, corrugated, extruded acrylic sheets and recycled catalog materials.

Crescent/Stonco manufactures over 85 percent of our products in Tupelo, Mississippi, Sparta, Tennessee and San Marcos, TX. Our Buy America listed products are in full compliance with the Buy American Act (41 U.S.C. § 10a-10d) and the Buy American provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
