This Built America - Making Things the Washington Way


In Union Gap, Washington -- where apple and cherry orchards hug the banks of the Yakima River -- Liberty Bottleworks is making aluminum water bottles in a factory that once produced RVs.

Inside the plant, the company has repurposed a technology on its production line that's normally used to make air-to-ground missiles.

But at Liberty, Frisbee-sized discs of aluminum are turned into bottles instead of weapons of war.
