I am looking at another kitchen project here in the next few weeks, and am scoping out drawer slides. I would like to keep them made in the USA if possible, but I can't tell which are made here, and which imported. The KV and Accuride sites don't say where their slides are made. Anyone have/know a list of what slides are made in the USA? I would like to do side mounts, mostly for ease of installation and keeping as much drawer height as possible. Thanks in advance for your help.

The last time I checked, Accuride slides were made in Mexico and KV was still manufacturing in the USA. I would call the companies and verify this. It could be that not all the slides from each company are made in the same places.

Blum is a German based company with a US manufacturing facility in Stanley NC

KV has two grades of slides, one imported and one still made in Grand Rapids Michigan. I use the Made in USA slides for about $2 a set more last time I bought some.
