Welcome to It’s Made in Pennsylvania
A blog designed to highlight the diverse manufacturers from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Many people are unaware of just how many products are manufactured in Pennsylvania, this is just a little spot on the Internet to help highlight some of those small to medium sized manufacturers. It is our vision that this information will not only educate and entertain visitors to the site but to spread the word about the importance of Made in USA. There is still a strong manufacturing base that provides world class products using materials and workers from Pennsylvania!
We hope you enjoy this blog and share this site with friends and colleagues. For those in manufacturing capacities, we hope that you will consider these manufacturers when looking for manufacturing suppliers.
Thank You

TIGG’s Activated Carbon History:
In 1977 TIGG was established because a market existed for pre-engineered, ready-to-use activated carbon modular adsorbers, particularly in the emerging pollution control market. In 1981, TIGG introduced the first upflow and radial flow NIXTOX® vapor phase units and a similar group of CANSORB® liquid phase activated carbon adsorbers. The TIGG’s radial NIXTOX® design won Pollution Engineering’s 5 Star Award for “significant technical advancement.”
Other pollution control developments in the 1982 to 1986 period were a continued expansion of the NIXTOX® and CANSORB® product lines to treat higher flows, the introduction of ENVIROSORB® Lab Sentry® work station adsorber, work on prototype polyethylene-lined vessels, development of special NIXTOX® units for removal of arsine in the electronics industry and for conversion of ethylene oxide to ethylene glycol.
