Free Book Signing by Reshoring and Manufacturing Policy Experts at FABTECH 2015
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Free Book Signing by Reshoring and Manufacturing Policy Experts at FABTECH 2015 Scott Paul and Harry Moser will join FABTECH 2015 to talk with you about the future of American manufacturing. Paul, president of the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM), and Moser, founder of the Reshoring Initiative, call for manufacturing policy that shifts production back to the United States. FABTECH attendees are invited to visit AAM’s booth C-825 to talk with the authors and receive a copy of ReMaking America during the show. “Without more manufacturing, it will be virtually impossible to rebuild the middle class, reduce the trade deficit, or innovate the next amazing generation of products,” said Paul. “And smart observers have noted that the ‘race to the bottom’ isn’t the only way to compete in manufacturing. We know America will never win such a race, nor should it want to. On the other hand, America is very good at winning races to the top.”
Paul and Moser are co-authors of ReMaking America, AAM’s second volume of domestic manufacturing policy recommendations. Edited by award-winning journalist Richard McCormack, it demonstrates how American manufacturing can thrive and grow if U.S. lawmakers enact meaningful policy change now. “We can start the race to the top even under current policy. About 25% of the production that we have lost to offshore would come back now if companies used more sophisticated sourcing decision criteria. The Reshoring Initiative provides an online Total Cost of Ownership Estimator™ that is free for all users.”
ABOUT THE ORGANIZATIONS:
The Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM) is a non-profit, non-partisan partnership formed in 2007 by some of America’s leading manufacturers and the United Steelworkers. Our mission is to strengthen American manufacturing and create new private-sector jobs through smart public policies. We believe that an innovative and growing manufacturing base is vital to America’s economic and national security, as well as to providing good jobs for future generations. The Reshoring Initiative is a non-profit association supported by a broad range of manufacturing trade associations, manufacturing companies and banks. Our mission is to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. by shifting collective thinking from offshoring is cheaper to local often reduces the total cost of ownership.For more information about the Alliance for American Manufacturing, contact Taylor Garland at tgarland@aamfg.org, or the Reshoring Initiative, contact Harry Moser at harry.moser@reshorenow.org.
