<h3>Tie Down Engineering: Over 55 Years of American-Made Innovation</h3><p>When Chuck MacKarvich started Tie Down in his Atlanta, Georgia garage in 1969, his goal was straightforward: build practical, reliable solutions for working people. More than five decades later, that founding spirit still drives every product the company engineers. Today, Tie Down has grown into one of America's largest family-owned manufacturers, with <strong>over 95 patents</strong>, a catalog of 7,000+ products, and ISO 9001:2015 certification — all produced right here in the USA.</p><p>Tie Down's reach spans a remarkable range of industries, from marine and roofing to manufactured housing, agriculture, safety, and renewable energy. What unifies every division is a commitment to engineering-first design, precision manufacturing, and domestic production. The company's Atlanta facilities cover over 500,000 square feet and are equipped with state-of-the-art CNC sheet and tube cutting, robotic welding, injection molding, and tool-and-die capabilities — technology Tie Down was among the first in the Southeast to adopt as far back as the early 1980s.</p><h3>Trailer &amp; Marine Products Built to Work Hard</h3><p>For trailer builders, boat owners, and marine enthusiasts, Tie Down Engineering is a go-to source for components that hold up under real-world demands.

Item was delivered on a pallet that appeared to have had a lot of care !

Great experience. Fast shipping. Item arrived in good shape.

Great service quick delivery

The picture did not match what I purchased. Only part number and description were correct.

These peeps were great.Very fast shipping and very fair price. Would buy from them again and again!!!

Thank you

It's the information I needed for my boat motor. The only issue I had with this maintenance manual was the way the manual was finished. I've worked the the graphic arts industry for 50 years and am well versed in print finishing. The book will no doubt stay together, however there is excessive glue on the spine as the cover wraps around the front/back that distracts from the overall appearance.

Online ordering was easy, the prices are good, and fast delivery. Over all it was a pleasure doing business with them.
