Building a Better Future: Build in the USA

When it comes to compact equipment attachments, you have more choices than ever. Open your browser and you’ll see grapples, buckets, and blades shipped from every corner of the world, many of them suspiciously cheap. At ANBO, we’ve watched this trend grow for decades. And yet, we’ve never once considered moving our production overseas.

Here’s why.

1. Quality You Can Feel Every Time You Use It

We build every attachment in Colville, Washington, using U S sourced steel and components. That matters more than most people realize.

American made steel is consistent, predictable, and proven. We work with AR400F steel because of its superior abrasion resistance and ability to flex without cracking. When you’re raking brush, digging stumps, or tearing through rock, that consistency keeps your grapple from failing when the job gets tough.

Cheap foreign steel can look similar on the outside, but the performance tells the real story. Variability in hardness, impurities, and weldability leads to:

• Cracking around high stress areas • Bent tines • Excessive wear on edges • And worst of all, attachments that warp out of alignment

We refuse to build tools that give out when you need them most.

2. Built by People Who Stand Behind Their Work

Every ANBO attachment is built by experienced fabricators who care about the product leaving their hands. They’re not working in a high volume, anonymous factory. They’re building tools their neighbors will use, ranchers, landowners, loggers, contractors, and farmers across the country.

That pride shows in the details:

• Clean welds • True alignment • Tested hydraulic function • Fitment that locks on exactly like it should

We design, cut, form, weld, assemble, and test right here. No shortcuts. No “good enough.”

3. Real World Design, Not Spreadsheet Engineering

Our attachments are shaped by decades of hands-on use in the woods, on job sites, and on real equipment. When customers give feedback, we can walk right out to the shop floor and incorporate it.

That’s why you’ll see features on ANBO attachments that many offshore models skip:

• Greasable pins and bushings for long service life • Shielded cylinders where branches and debris can’t rip them open • Tines shaped for real-world grabbing, not just made to look heavy-duty

These aren’t marketing features, they’re solutions built from experience.

4. We Believe the Work You Do Deserves Better Tools

Your equipment isn’t just equipment. It’s how you clear your land, feed your livestock, finish your projects, and run your business.

If your grapple breaks, bends, or jams, your day stops.

That’s why we build for strength, precision, and longevity, not for a price point.

Foreign-built attachments often focus on hitting cost targets to stay competitive on marketplaces. We focus on building tools you can own for decades. Many customers have sold their ANBO attachments 10-15 years down the road for more than they originally paid, a testament to how well they hold their value and how long they last.

5. Supporting American Manufacturing Still Matters

Choosing American-built attachments isn’t just about quality, it’s about supporting:

• Skilled trades • Rural manufacturing jobs • Local suppliers • Community economies • A domestic supply chain that stays strong

Every ANBO attachment represents American craftsmanship. And we’re proud that nothing leaves our shop unless it meets our own standards, standards shaped by hard work.

Why We’ll Keep Building Here

We could lower costs by outsourcing. We could cut corners. We could use cheaper steel. But then it wouldn’t be ANBO. The reason we build attachments is to keep true quality in the USA.

We build in the USA because it results in better attachments, longer service life, and real value for the people who depend on them.

If you want tools built with honesty, precision, pride, and toughness, you’ll find them here.

Built in the USA. Built to last.
