Architectural Grille is Brooklyn Made...it's official!

ARCHITECTURAL GRILLE is proud to announce our recent achievement of Brooklyn-Made Gold Level Certification by the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce. Brooklyn-Made is a points-based certification program for locally-made goods in Brooklyn, NY.

The certification is the only one of its kind – a market-driven, geographically-focused certification assessing the extent to which a particular product is manufactured in Brooklyn, NY. The program relies on a two-pronged approach to evaluation: a points-based scoring system as well as review from an independent advisory board.

There are 3 tiers to the certification program – Gold, Silver, and Bronze. As baseline criteria, only legal businesses headquartered in Brooklyn making one or more physical products will be considered. From there, the points-based system will evaluate a range of manufacturing activities, taking into account criteria such as share of total employees located in Brooklyn, location of product assembly, where design and development takes place, and other important factors.

 As baseline criteria, only legal businesses headquartered in Brooklyn making one or more physical products will be considered. From there, the points-based system evaluates a range of manufacturing activities, including:

• Sourcing of materials
• Product design and development
• Product processing
• Product assembly
• Product finishing
• Location of employees
• Length of time operating in Brooklyn
