The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) is taking its message of American manufacturing on the road with a nationwide bus tour dubbed the "Manufacturing Express." This groundbreaking initiative kicks off on July 1st and aims to celebrate the vital role equipment manufacturing plays in our nation's success.
The tour will visit 80 communities across the country, stopping at equipment manufacturing facilities. These visits will showcase the dedication and expertise of the 2.3 million AEM employees who contribute to the industry's $316 billion annual economic impact.
But the "Manufacturing Express" isn't just about factory tours. AEM has created an interactive online video game called the "Manufacturing Challenge" for everyone to participate. Play the game, test your knowledge of the industry, and enter for a chance to win incredible prizes, including the grand prize of a Ford F-150 truck!
The tour will also engage with local and regional policymakers, advocating for bipartisan policies that support equipment manufacturing companies. This collaborative effort aims to ensure the continued strength and prosperity of this vital sector.
With a focus on fun, education, and industry advocacy, the "Manufacturing Express" promises to be an exciting event for all. Visit www.manufacturingexpress.org to learn more and see if the tour is coming to a location near you.
