NAM’s Timmons to visit Columbus during State of Manufacturing Tour
Tour stop highlights manufacturing in Ohio, which supports more than 688,000 manufacturing jobs.
National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) president and CEO Jay Timmons will visit Columbus, Ohio, on Monday, February 27, during the 2017 State of Manufacturing Tour.
Timmons will tour the Honda Performance Manufacturing Center, Anheuser-Busch and Worthington Industries.
According to NAM, manufacturing contributes an estimated $2.17 trillion to the U.S. economy and supports 688,200 jobs in Ohio alone. The tour is intended to showcase modern manufacturing and lay out solutions that will create more jobs, seize global leadership and expand the circle of opportunity. The NAM will also call on the Trump administration and the new Congress to take action on policies that will stimulate manufacturing by reforming our tax and regulatory systems and investing in our nation’s infrastructure.
