Q: Where is the SHP block made?

Arons: The SHP block is made in the USA. While some of our competitors are going to low-cost imports from China and India, Dart is committed to maintaining high quality. Our blocks are cast in American foundries where we can constantly monitor the quality of the material and workmanship. If there is a problem, we fix it today, not three or four months later. Except for the actual pouring of the iron, every step of production is done in-house at Dart's manufacturing facilities in Michigan. We use the same Makino CNC machining centers to produce SHP blocks that we use to make our top-of-the-line Race Series blocks.
