Leikam Enterprises, LLC Refuses to Outsource: Jobs Remain in The U. S. A.

    PALO ALTO, CA, January 30, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With manufacturing jobs being shipped overseas along with American dollars, the Oven Claw is one product that will remain manufactured in the United States by American workers. Although the Oven Claw could be produced in China or Mexico for far less than the cost of American production, Bill Leikam, President and owner of Leikam Enterprises will ensure that the Oven Claw is produced in the U.S.A. In a recent interview, he said, "Our consultants have encouraged us to outsource our product to 'ensure a better return on your investment' but we refused." Additionally, "I think more and more companies are beginning to see the light. We want to be part of the solution to America's distress not another part of the problem."

Although oven rack pullers have been around for years, the Oven Claw Pro is the highest quality kitchen tool of its type on the market today and woodworkers employed by US companies make them. At 18 inches, made of sturdy maple, the Oven Claw allows a kitchen chef to securely retrieve large meals such as a 15 pound turkey or goose from the oven. Russ Zipkin owner of Select Appliance and designer of the Russell Range said, "This strong wooden oven rack puller/pusher is perfect for all ovens, especially those large heavy duty racks found in high-end professional style stoves. Many cheaply made imitations simply won't work."

When asked the President of Leikam Enterprises what makes the Oven Claw Pro better than all of the rest, he said, "Its length and strength are ideal for people who are handicapped such as people confined to wheelchairs. The Oven Claw Pro's 18 inch length allows a person to reach across the oven's door without having to reach into the oven, withdraw the oven rack to a safe distance and then remove the hot food. In short it extends one's arm. No other oven rack puller can do all of those things with such ease and confidence."

He added, "We are excited about our new product and look forward to being part of the solution to jobs in America."
