Products Made in Utah

Utah's industry started with the railroad and mining. The transcontinental railroad was joined at Promontory Summit in 1869, and the open-pit copper mine at Bingham Canyon, southwest of Salt Lake City, has been worked since 1906. Geneva Steel's mill at Vineyard, near Orem, was built during World War II. Rocket motors for missiles and the Space Shuttle were built in the desert west of Brigham City. Most of the state's consumer makers sit along the Wasatch Front. Blendtec has built blenders in Orem since 1975, Boardwalk Puzzles is run from Lindon and makes most of its puzzles at its own Utah plant, and GRIP6 makes belts and wallets in Midvale. Rock Exotica machines climbing and rescue hardware in Clearfield, where Lifetime Products makes folding tables and sheds. Storm's Brigham City plant pours Roto Grip bowling balls, and The Honey Jar packs honey sticks in Ogden. Farther south, Chums makes eyewear retainers in Hurricane, Mrs. Grossman's prints stickers in Kanab and Redmond mines Real Salt near Redmond.
