KERNERSVILLE, NC (January 25, 2012) Joe Denette Motorsports (JDM) is pleased to announce that Terry “Richie” Snyder has been named crew chief for the No. 24 Made In USA Brand Chevrolet of Max Gresham for the 2012 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) season.

“I’m very excited for the opportunity to work with Max this year,” stated Snyder. “He has a lot of talent and enthusiasm. He is in the shop everyday asking questions and learning these trucks. I know with his talent, my experience, and our drive to succeed, we have a combination for success in 2012.”

While Snyder will be making his debut as a crew chief when the NCWTS takes the green flag at Daytona International Speedway in February, the Thomasville, NC native is a veteran racer who knows what it takes to be a champion.

Snyder got his start working on late models and has a background in racing that spans more than 10 years. With extensive experience building suspension, Snyder also served as a fill-in truck chief on Johnny Benson’s 2008 Championship winning team. He was also the truck chief for Timothy Peters during the 2009-2010 NCWTS seasons and for Jason White in 2011.

Over the past seven years, Snyder has contributed to 15 wins, seven pole awards and 65 top-five finishes in the NCWTS.

Max Gresham, who will pilot the No. 24 machine and contend for the 2012 Sunoco Rookie of the Year honors, says Snyder’s experience in the series and his passion for the sport will be the key to success in 2012.

“Richie is a very well-rounded, knowledgeable guy who has a passion to succeed,” said Gresham. “Although he has never called the shots as a crew chief, he has been around this sport and this series for a long time. He has worked with some great drivers and learned a lot through the years. I know his experience will help us succeed on the track.”

Made in USA Brand Certification Mark honored as one of the best in American design.

Made in USA Brand — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 16:15:03 +0000

Made in USA Brand Certification Mark honored as one of the best in American design by PRINT Regional Design Annual.

Open the current issue of PRINT 31st Regional Design Annual to page 95 and you’ll see our Made in USA Brand Certification Mark honored as one of the best in American design.

Every year since 1981, PRINT has taken a snapshot of American design with the Regional Design Annual. For the 31st edition, PRINT assembled a crack team of judges—Kim Bost, of The New York Times; Brigitta Bungard, of the Museum of Modern Art; Joshua Darden, of the Darden Studio; Michael Freimuth, of Sagmeister Inc.; John Kudos and Kiki Katahira, of Studio Kudos; and Pum and Jake Lefebure, of Design Army—they sorted through 2,536 submissions from every corner of the country. They chose the 421 best pieces and we are honored to be among them.

The Made in USA Brand Certification Mark is the only certification mark registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for identifying goods either made or grown in the United States.

The Made in USA Brand Certification mark originated from Marcie Gabor, a principal at Conrad Phillips Vutech, a branding and marketing firm located in the heart of the Midwest, in Columbus, Ohio. The certification mark is based on the Federal Trade Commission’s regulations for complying with Made in USA origin claims. It was developed with the assistance of the law firm of Schottenstein Zox & Dunn, Columbus, Ohio.

The thinking behind the Made in USA logo icon design: The Made in USA Brand certification mark icon creates the shape of an outstretched hand, while symbolizing the United States flag. The fingers of the hand appear in red as a tribute to the stripes on the flag. Cradled in a palm of blue, a single white star represents unity. The shape of a hand was chosen to stand for the products that are “made” by the hands of workers at United States companies. The icon appears in the position of a business handshake, which represents the promise of reliability and quality of goods and products made in America.

“The Made in USA Brand Certification mark brings attention to American products. American companies now have a distinctive registered certification mark for labeling the United States as country of origin on their goods.” Gabor said.

Registered Certification Mark Now Available to Label and Identify Made in USA Products

The Made in USA Brand Certification Mark is the only certification mark registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for identifying goods either made or grown in the United States. This is big news to United States businesses and consumers. It comes at a time when Pocketbook Patriotism (buying American) and American jobs and manufacturing are hot topics in the news, around the dinner table and in Washington, D.C.

Consumers value transparency in the manufacturing process and have looked to trusted symbols such as the Better House Keeping Seal and certification marks to help align their purchases with their beliefs. The Made in USA Brand Certification Mark joins the ranks of such symbols as Certified Organic, Certified Gluten-Free and Rainforest Alliance Certified.

“American companies now have a distinctive registered certification mark for labeling the United States as country of origin on their goods. Consumers will be able to identify at a glance products that are made in the USA.” Gabor said.

In one year the number of Made in USA Brand certified companies has grown from 15 to over 300. One company, Jacob Bromwell, is recognized as America’s oldest cookware. Jacob Bromwell still handcrafts products the same exact way, with the same authentic materials and in the same original tradition, as it was done nearly 200 years ago. “Even our logo represents the man’s own mark, made with his own hand,” stated its president, Sean Bandawat.

Every Jacob Bromwell product is a handcrafted, historically-correct American masterpiece.

Gabor, who developed the concept and program, sees the Made in USA Brand Certification Mark as an important brand enhancement and a clear way for U.S. businesses that meet accreditation standards to differentiate themselves from competitors. The certification mark is available for any U.S. business that meets the accreditation standards found at www.MadeInUSAbrand.com/form/.

“Consumers are becoming increasingly interested in buying local and purchasing goods made in America, because they associate them with higher quality and reliability than products made in other countries,” Gabor said.
