Local manufacturer expands operations Bartlesville Examiner-Enterprise A Bartlesville-based industrial manufacturing firm is expanding its capabilities to produce consumer products, with a focus on promoting American-made products, as opposed to reliance on foreign manufacturers. Part of the STC Group of Companies, USAco will contract with other companies to manufacture consumer products — although founder K. Vasudevan could not specify what types of companies or products will be handled at the newly secured 10,000-square-foot facility. “We will make whatever a supplier feels like they can sell … we are not producing and selling it ourselves. We will produce it for them,” Vasudevan said. “We do not have any specific (contracts) right now.”
