Paladin Attachments Achieves Gold Status in 'I Make America' Campaign
The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) announces that Paladin Attachments, a division of International Equipment Solutions, has joined the elite ranks of the I Make America campaign's Gold-level company supporters.
I Make America is a grassroots campaign that was launched in September 2010 to dramatically improve American manufacturing policies, to create more jobs in the United States and keep our economy competitive with other countries.
I Make America Gold-level supporters are an important group of companies that have achieved participation benchmarks marking them as industry leaders, including significant employee involvement; outreach to their state, local and federal legislators, promoting campaign sign-ups at trade shows and with allied trade associations, and production of A Day in American Life video telling the story of how their companies, employees and communities "make America."
The campaign has enlisted the support of more than 21,000 people nationwide, AEM's 850-plus member companies, and industry organizations. To learn more, visit www.IMakeAmerica.com. IMAS
