US-Based Manufacturing Ensures Quality, Predictability for STRASSER Customers.
STRASSER sources all raw materials, primarily plywood and hardwoods, from the United States and Canada (the only exception is Italian hardware). It’s the first step in quality control that continues in the factory. In addition to quality assurance, “Made in USA” brings greater predictability and reliability for customers. Even though each STRASSER vanity is made-to-order, a designer or building pro will receive their order within four weeks. From start to finish, STRASSER is in control of the process and therefore not subject to the unpredictability from shipping, tariffs, or other overseas concerns.
