One of the things I noticed when I first got into the industry was that there were a lot of awesome companies that didn’t get the exposure they deserved. A company shouldn’t be punished for devoting more time to the product than the website, so I’d like to even the balance a bit. I’ve had the pleasure of working personally with some of the companies below, in one way or another.
If you’re a buyer, a writer, or even a blogger, you owe it to yourself to check out some of these places and see what they have to offer. If you’re looking for the “big guys”, I’ll mention them at the very end, but only for the sake of being thorough. They get more than enough exposure!
Guide: When “***” appears after a name, it means they only have a few products made out of that material, but that those are of enough quality to have the company make the list.
***If you are a retailer and end up using any of these manufacturers, I would GREATLY APPRECIATE if you mentioned that you found out about their company through my blog.***
