At Coyote Design we are not day trading, working with derivatives, junk bonds, or ponzi schemes. We aren’t writing letters to congress for a government bailout, or building a factory in China. We also admit that we’re not launching the next six million dollar man with computerized technologies. But we can say this: our products are designed with practitioners and amputees in mind. Using our good sense, originality & innovation we strive to deliver highly functioning products designed by practitioners and amputees for practitioners and amputees. And we should also mention that our products are made right here in the USA. We may be traveling alone on this road of good sense, simplicity and quality-made-on-our-turf products, but that has been our trademark for more than10 years and we’re probably going to stick to it.
Green Program
In an effort to not just be part of the problem, but also part of the solution we have been making major changes within Coyote Design. We now have an extensive recycling program of office paper, cardboard, plastics and aluminum. This has led to a major reduction in the waste that Coyote produces. We have also been reduced energy usage and efficiency in throughout our offices and warehouse and by making changes in our purchasing decisions. Coyote Design, from day one, is made in the USA. Well over 90% of our products are produced in the US, and most of those products are even made in our home state of Idaho. All of these efforts reduce shipping costs, fuel and energy usage, and help to keep and create jobs locally.
