The AEM Manufacturing Express concluded its 22-state tour this week, focusing on top policy priorities of workforce development, infrastructure and supply chains.
The AEM Manufacturing Express concluded its 4-month tour this week, after having stopped at a total of 80 equipment manufacturers since July 1, when it launched the tour in Knoxville, Iowa. The bus traveled across 22 states in the Midwest, Southeast, and Mid-Atlantic, making final stops this week in Wisconsin, home to AEM headquarters. The organization referred to the completion as “a celebratory close as manufacturing workers, elected officials, and industry leaders gathered to celebrate equipment manufacturers’ impact on the communities where they live and work.” AEM leadership emphasized the important policy priorities reinforced at each stop.
Throughout the tour, the AEM Manufacturing Express showcased the cutting-edge technology and innovations driving the equipment manufacturing industry, and its leadership championed the hard work of its members with an “I made America” theme across all stops.
For its part, the editorial team at Lessiter Media, reporting on behalf of Farm Equipment, Rural Lifestyle Dealer, Ag Equipment Intelligence and Precision Lifestyle Dealer, joined the AEM Manufacturing Express at two of its stops, including Woods Equipment in Oregon, Ill., and Kuhn in Brodhead, Wis.
