Great video and impressed with the robotics implemented within your facility to keep the health insurance costs down for the other employees :)

Watching the video again, I think only a machine could reach the level of precision needed in that certain manufacturing process.  :)

I can tell you that MAK will not even use screws that are not made in the USA.

And smokeasaurus...we all know you were just hoping to see a factory worker in a skirt..... ;D ;D ;D

As the guy who owned MAK #27 which I think is the second MAK 2 Star that was sold to the public and now the proud owner of #829 I have been following the folks at MAK from the get go.  There are plenty of American workers in that factory.

Correct me if I am wrong, doesn't Mak have some sort of certification that every component on the MAK is 100% U.S.A. made?

Great video Bob!

Seeing that video gives you a good sense of exactly why MAK grills are priced the way they are. Precision and high quality.
