TESCO Recognized as Pilot Partner in NEMA's Make It American™ Program, Reinforcing Commitment to U.S. Manufacturing and BABA Compliance
BRISTOL, Pa., May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TESCO Metering is proud to announce its recognition as one of the first manufacturers to achieve certification in the National Electrical Manufacturers Association's (NEMA) new Make It American™ program. As a pilot partner in the program, TESCO is helping set the benchmark for domestic manufacturing compliance under the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA)—reinforcing its longstanding role as the trusted metering solutions provider to the electric utility industry. TESCO received both Supply Chain Process Certification and Product Certification, validating its ability to meet stringent domestic content requirements through a third-party audit. These designations underscore TESCO's vertically integrated manufacturing model, where design, engineering, machining, and manufacturing take place in the United States. NEMA's Make It American certification program helps the market identify products and manufacturing facilities that have implemented best-in-class processes to meet BABA domestic content requirements. The Make It American certification enables companies to demonstrate that their processes and supply chain management systems have undergone rigorous, third-party expert audits — providing greater certainty and confidence to manufacturers, government agencies, and procurement officials looking to source materials with enhanced levels of U.S.-manufactured content. Companies can certify their facilities to NEMA's Make It American Process Standard, and additional product specifications which are currently available for low-voltage power distribution equipment (LVDE) and wire and cable, with more specifications coming for other product lines in the coming months. Companies that successfully complete the certification audit are granted marks to showcase their rigorous supply chain processes, commitment to transparency and enhanced domestic manufacturing footprint. "For over a century, TESCO has engineered and built the products that keep our power grid accurate and reliable," said Tom Lawton, President & CEO of TESCO. "We're proud to be a pilot partner in the Make It American program and a leader in supporting BABA initiatives—ensuring our utility customers receive not only the best testing equipment, but one that's manufactured right here at home." "The U.S. electroindustry is the backbone of our nation's energy system, with over $185 billion invested in domestic electrical component manufacturing since 2018," said Debra Phillips, President and CEO of NEMA. "TESCO Metering's leadership as one of the first companies to achieve certification through NEMA's Make It American™ Program demonstrates their strong commitment to U.S. manufacturing, the creation of high-quality American jobs, and the enhancement of our nation's critical energy infrastructure. Their example sets a powerful precedent for the industry." TESCO's commitment to domestic manufacturing extends beyond metering equipment.

British & Irish Lions series 2025: Wallabies' Tom Lynagh poised to make history

Credit: Jones/Fairfax Media Lynagh debuted for the Wallabies last year and played in three Tests, but didn't make the spring tour after struggling with injuries. The blond No.10 played for Australia A instead, but this year Lynagh has made a compelling case for selection with excellent form for the Reds. Some pundits have Lynagh neck-and-neck with incumbent Wallabies No.10 Noah Lolesio to start against the Lions in the first Test in Brisbane on July 19. Ben Donaldson sits behind them, with Tane Edmed – the man Joe Schmidt preferred for the spring tour – having fallen behind after being used from the bench for NSW. If Tom plays in the July series, the Lynaghs will become the first father-son duo to play for the Wallabies against the Lions, after Michael played in all three Tests of the 1989 series. The only other family lineage to play for the Wallabies against the Lions is Tom Lawton snr (1930) and his grandson Tom Lawton, in 1989. For his part, Tom Lynagh is still not diverting much attention beyond playing well for Queensland. But even doing that will keep boosting his chances, with the Reds' last four games including derby clashes with Edmed and NSW, and Lolesio's Brumbies. Lynagh is likely to go head-to-head with Edmed on Friday in Sydney, who is set for a recall to the NSW No.10 jersey after a season mostly spent stuck behind Lawson Creighton. NSW coach Dan McKellar is set to make changes after last weekend's heavy defeat to the Brumbies, with Dave Porecki and Charlie Gamble also slated to return from injury. Tom Lynagh sits fourth in Super Rugby for most points, with 78. Credit: Getty Images With four rounds left, the Tahs have to win to keep their fading finals hopes alive, and fourth-ranked Queensland need to prevail in Sydney to make sure they don't get overtaken late. The Reds are also coming off a last-minute loss to Fiji in Suva. 'We're getting to the pointy end of the season now, so every game from here on in obviously means a lot in terms of where you ultimately finish up,' Lynagh said. 'Their season's on the line too, so obviously they haven't lost at home yet this year, so it's going to be a big game. You can't switch off, and you've just got to be ruthless in these types of games.' Lynagh said he had benefited from consistent time in the driver's seat this season, having started in seven of nine games. His confidence and maturity in managing games for the Reds, particularly with the boot, have been impressive, and so too Lynagh's toughness. Multiple sides have targeted him physically, and occasionally with foul play. But Lynagh has stood up to it. 'Obviously, if you start, you play more minutes and get more experience,' he said. 'That's the only way I've found I've developed. Just by actually playing minutes and having different scenarios. Loading 'You learn from experiences and losses. If you don't experience those, you're not going to learn as quickly. 'I feel like I'm in a much better place than I was this time last year. I've still got a lot to improve on. But I'm happy with how things are going at the moment.' Watch all the action from the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific season on Stan Sport, the only place to watch every match live and on demand.
