Congressman Bill Foster Visits Victor Technology for Launch of Calculator

Victor Technology proudly welcomed Congressman Bill Foster, serving the residents of the 11th Congressional District of Illinois, to Victor’s facility. The Congressman is a strong advocate for American companies focusing on growing the economy and bringing jobs back to the United States. The visit celebrated the launch of the Model 1776, the only ink printing calculator to be built in America and the only TAA compliant ink printing calculator available to the office supply channel, GSA and other federal, state and local government agencies.

The TAA or Trade Agreement Act was developed for encouraging procurement of certain goods and services for federal contracts of U.S. manufactured or assembled products. This means US Government Agencies must prioritize their purchases to TAA Compliant products such as the Victor 1776 printing calculator, ahead of purchasing products from non TAA compliant countries, such as China. 

As an American owned and operated manufacturer of calculators and desktop organizing accessories, Victor recognizes the importance of supporting our economy and our workers.

“The troubled economy is a source of stress for many Americans. People are concerned about the loss of manufacturing jobs to overseas factories. At Victor, we take pride in being the innovation leader among calculator makers. We believe it is our responsibility to step up to the challenge to produce more products in America. This is why we created the 1776 printing calculator, a high quality, locally assembled product. We encourage all government employees and all Americans to consider the 1776 when making their next calculator purchase.” noted John Ringlein, COO of Victor Technology.

The Model 1776 is an extra heavy duty commercial printing calculator. The 12-digit calculator is perfect for the everyday or moderate user, especially in government, school or office environments. The 1776 features an extra-large fluorescent display for easy viewing. You can count on the fast and reliable 4.6 lines-per-second ribbon printer. Other features include cost/sell/margin keys, for quick and easy profit margin calculations, and two independent tax keys. 

The 1776 is available for purchase through office supply resellers throughout the United States and Amazon.com.
