When Brendan Halbohm — the maker, owner and proprietor of All American Maker Company — says his products have a worldwide reach, he’s not joking.

“I’ve got sales for products and services in more than 24 different countries and in several states,” said Halbohm, a Jamestown resident. “We’re a young, but growing business and I only buy raw products from other American-owned companies, and in turn I produce all-American-made goods.”

All American Maker has a plethora of healthy, organic and American-made products for sale.

“I produce essential-oils-based candles, wax-based colognes, leather products and outdoor display type goods — all resourced from other American business,” he said. “I also provided label and branding services, along with some marketing assistance for companies who request it.”

For this builder, inventor and entrepreneur it’s all about producing American-based and supported products.

“You go to a store, look around and close to 90% or more of the products seems to be imported or manufactured from China, Korea, Mexico and other countries. As my business grows, and I need more raw products, which I will buy from other American-owned businesses, and in turn they’re business will grow; this trickle-down effect is beneficial for all,” Halbohm added.

Moreover, Halbohm has the goal of getting his own local-based storefront location.

“Right now, you can purchase my products locally at a few locations in Lakewood, Dot’s Gift Store, Peterson’s Farms and few other places,” he said. “However, most of my sales are from online orders, and for those who want to come to my actual manufacturing site to make a purchase. It’s by appointment only, but I really want to get my own store front at some point. However, commercial rental property just cost way too much right now.”

Products are not the only or even main revenue stream for the business.

“The label/marketing services constitute about 70% of my business right now,” Halbohm said. “The other 30% comes from direct sales of products. Healthy, clean products.”

Starting at $3.50/week.
