In today’s globalized world, it’s easy to overlook where the products we depend on actually come from. But when it comes to mission-critical IT infrastructure, the value of American-made data cabinets is more important than ever. At Great Lakes Data Racks & Cabinets, we proudly design and manufacture all our cabinets right here in the USA—and for good reason.
Quality You Can Count On
Manufacturing locally gives us full control over the quality of every cabinet that leaves our facility. It all starts with our steel. Sourced from Ohio, the life of our steel begins within 100 miles of our corporate headquarters. Upon arrival at our manufacturing facility in Corry, Pennsylvania, the steel undergoes cutting, bending, heating, and coating to become a Great Lakes product.
Across the street from our headquarters in Edinboro, Pennsylvania, these individual pieces find their home. Our trusted team of assemblers and quality controllers carefully assemble each product, preparing it for the final step. From there, it can be shipped anywhere.
Unlike imported products, there are no shortcuts—only craftsmanship, consistency, and performance you can trust.
Supporting American Jobs and Industry
Choosing American-made data cabinets isn’t just a technical decision—it’s a commitment to U.S. workers and the manufacturing economy. Every cabinet we produce supports jobs in engineering, design, fabrication, and logistics. It’s about investing in the communities and skills that power our industry and our country.
BABAA Compliance for Government-Funded Projects
With the rise of federal infrastructure investment, compliance matters more than ever. The Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA) now requires that federally funded infrastructure projects use domestically produced manufactured goods—including data cabinets.
At Great Lakes, our products are BABAA-compliant, offering:
- Over 55% domestic content
- Full supply chain traceability
- Documentation for easy project compliance
- Eligibility for federally funded projects
Whether you’re sourcing for government, education, or public sector deployments, we make compliance simple and fully documented. Learn more on our BABAA compliance page.
