project, Peerless has been successful enough to add even more diecast- ing capacity—and regain even more control over its processes. While it had been purchasing a few small zinc die castings from an outside supplier, it has brought that in-house, as well. The company may never compete in
the retail market with its 100% in-house production process, but its executives are fi ne with that fact, even proud of it. “Peerless grew up ‘Made in America,’” Eble said. “We are a man- facturing company.”
