L.S. Starrett Co. to be Profiled on "Made in America" TV Series
 ATHOL, MA -- John Ratzenberger of the Travel Channel’s "Made in America"
show and his film crew rolled into Athol, MA, to shoot a feature episode on The L. S. Starrett Company. The 10-minute episode is currently slated for national television today at 9:30 p.m. EST on the Travel Channel.
Ratzenberger produces and hosts the show called "Made in America," which airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. (EST) on the Travel Channel. Currently in its third season, the show salutes the men and women who work with their hands to make the products that are the backbone of the American economy.
He chose Starrett based on their 125-year American Tool making heritage, their innovative, high quality products and a skilled, dedicated workforce. Ratzenberger (a former carpenter who owns a Starrett square) and his entourage spent a day at Starrett filming, touring the plant and interviewing employees, while learning and observing tool manufacturing processes for products such as calipers, squares, indicators, and electronic precision tools. He also enjoyed trying his hand at tool making.
Each year approximately 1,000 companies vie to be included on the show, but only about 40 are chosen. For more information about host and executive producer John Ratzenberger and the "Made In America" show and schedule, please visit http://travel.discovery.com.
