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.”
