“Build It Like Your Own,” reads a banner across Jackson Kayak’s factory floor in Sparta. The leading manufacturer for whitewater kayaking, recreational paddling, fishing, and more has been around since 2003 under the guidance of some of kayaking world’s top minds but remains family-run. Note that though not all of the company’s goods are Made in USA. However, Jackson’s plastic shells for its kayaks are made at its Tennessee facility, and the company aims to achieve greater and greater self-sufficiency every year. Currently, they employ roughly 120 workers at its 100,000 square-foot facility, and Jackson Kayak continues to expand its domestic production lines to items like premium coolers and pet kennels.
