AME Supports American Manufacturing Competitiveness Act of 2012
CHICAGO — The Association for Manufacturing Excellence (AME) supports the efforts of Rep. Dan Lipinski (D-Ill.) and Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) who introduced the American Manufacturing Competitiveness Act of 2012, H.R. 5865, requiring the development of a national strategy to revitalize American manufacturing. The U.S. House of Representatives passed the bill on September 13 with a 339-77 vote; the Senate is set to vote on it later this year.
“AME is in full support of The American Manufacturing Competitiveness Act because we believe in its mission to publicly collaborate and put forth a strategy to promote growth and competitiveness in the manufacturing sector,” explained Paul Kuchuris, AME President. “Doing so will enable innovation and investment as well as create the well-paid, stable jobs that the industry has been craving. It is critical that we work together to generate growth in United States manufacturing.”
