TESCO Metering Recognized as Pilot Partner in NEMA’s Make It American™ Program, Reinforcing Commitment to U.S. Manufacturing and BABA Compliance

Bristol, Pennsylvania – May 1, 2025 — TESCO Metering is proud to announce its recognition as one of the first manufacturers to achieve certification in the National Electrical Manufacturers Association’s (NEMA) new Make It American™ program. As a pilot partner in the program, TESCO Metering is helping set the benchmark for domestic manufacturing compliance under the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA)—reinforcing its longstanding role as the trusted metering solutions provider to the electric utility industry.

TESCO Metering received both Supply Chain Process Certification and Product Certification, validating its ability to meet stringent domestic content requirements through a third-party audit. These designations underscore TESCO Metering’s vertically integrated manufacturing model, where design, engineering, machining, and manufacturing take place in the United States.

NEMA’s Make It American certification program helps the market identify products and manufacturing facilities that have implemented best-in-class processes to meet BABA domestic content requirements. The Make It American certification enables companies to demonstrate that their processes and supply chain management systems have undergone rigorous, third-party expert audits — providing greater certainty and confidence to manufacturers, government agencies, and procurement officials looking to source materials with enhanced levels of U.S.-manufactured content.
Companies can certify their facilities to NEMA’s Make It American Process Standard, and additional product specifications which are currently available for low-voltage power distribution equipment (LVDE) and wire and cable, with more specifications coming for other product lines in the coming months. Companies that successfully complete the certification audit are granted marks to showcase their rigorous supply chain processes, commitment to transparency and enhanced domestic manufacturing footprint.

“The U.S. electroindustry is the backbone of our nation’s energy system, with over $185 billion invested in domestic electrical component manufacturing since 2018,” said Debra Phillips, President and CEO of NEMA. “TESCO’s leadership as one of the first companies to achieve certification through NEMA’s Make It American™ Program demonstrates their strong commitment to U.S. manufacturing, the creation of high-quality American jobs, and the enhancement of our nation’s critical energy infrastructure. Their example sets a powerful precedent for the industry.”
