John Mitchell, president and CEO of IPC, issued the following statement on the United States’ election results.
“With the U.S. election now decided, IPC looks forward to working with the new Administration and Congress to promote policies that encourage innovation, economic growth, and advanced manufacturing in the U.S. and worldwide. IPC, a U.S.-based, global industry association that represents more than 2,100 U.S. member facilities and 800,000 workers across the United States, is optimistic about the prospect of increased bipartisan support for pro-manufacturing policies. It is vital that we as an industry remain vigilant to ensure that our voice is heard on the many policy issues that affect us.”
