AEM’s Manufacturing Express Returns Home to Wisconsin

 

The AEM Manufacturing Express recently concluded its cross-country tour when it returned home to Wisconsin for its final stops. The tour, which launched on July 1 in Knoxville, Iowa, has travelled across 22 states, celebrating the 2.3 million men and women of the U.S. equipment manufacturing industry and highlighting their role in building, powering, and feeding the world.

The AEM Manufacturing Express stopped at 80 equipment manufacturers across the Midwest, Southeast, and Mid-Atlantic. The final stops in Wisconsin, home to AEM’s headquarters, brought the 4-month long tour to 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.

“The AEM Manufacturing Express has been a unique platform to celebrate the grit and determination of the men and women of the equipment manufacturing industry,” said AEM president Megan Tanel. “As we wrap up this historic journey in Milwaukee, we are proud to have told the stories of so many individuals who help build and sustain our modern world. We look forward to finishing strong in the community where our organization is rooted.”
Throughout the tour, the AEM Manufacturing Express showcased the cutting-edge technology and innovations driving the equipment manufacturing industry.

“Returning to Wisconsin, the AEM Manufacturing Express is coming home to celebrate the equipment manufacturing industry and the 180,000 workers that are the backbone of the state,” said Kip Eideberg, AEM’s senior vice president of Government and Industry Relations. “This cross-country tour has demonstrated that when the equipment manufacturing industry is strong, America is strong. As we enter the final sprint to Election Day, we have a simple message for all candidates: We do not care whether there is an R or D behind your name, we want to know what you will do to support equipment manufacturing in America.”
