REC Components

Verified sources

We checked this business against our three rules. Here is the public proof we found:

• ✓ American owned

  Company: "REC has been 100% family owned by Linda and Alan Gnann since 1997." The same page also says REC "has been veteran owned and operated company for over 25 years." No foreign parent found.

• ✓ Made in the USA

  Company: "MADE IN THE USA At REC our mission is clear... design and manufacture the highest quality rod components and rod cases..." Contact: "REC COMPONENTS 17 Middle River Dr. Stafford Springs, CT 06076 Tel: 860-749-3476." Caveat: REC acquired the Richard Wheatley brand and manufacturing equipment in England in 2013 and "relocated the operation to its current home in Connecticut," so Wheatley goods are now made in Connecticut rather than in England.

• ✓ Designed in the USA

  Company: the mission is to "design and manufacture" rod components and cases, and REC received a U.S. and international utility patent in 2013 for its MagnaStaff. Official pages emphasize in-house design and precision manufacturing in Connecticut.
