Issue Spotlight
Learn what AEM is doing to focus attention on the pro-manufacturing policies critical to our industry during this important election year.
By helping to build, power, and feed the world, our members’ equipment positively impacts the lives of every American, every day. While a combine harvester cutting corn or an excavator digging a trench is a common sight for many Americans, they may not realize what that equipment means to the hard-working Americans who build it and the impact the equipment manufacturing industry has on communities across America. Whether it is the welder controlling a robotic welding machine or the software engineer designing the controls for a new wheel loader, there are millions of jobs and opportunities created by the equipment manufacturing industry.
