“Surviving the Onslaught.”
That is how The Wall Street Journal has described the tremendous
challenges facing American manufacturing. Inflated health care costs,
volatile energy prices and government policies that don’t reflect
the changing economy make every day tough. Intense global competition
makes it difficult to raise prices even as costs continue to rise for
many reasons, including actions by government— or its failure to
act.
To gain and retain a statewide environment in which your business can
survive requires laws that support—not hinder—your efforts
to compete. No other organization works directly with members of the
Ohio General Assembly, state regulatory agencies, the judiciary
community and statewide media with the sole focus of improving business
conditions for manufacturers in Ohio.
Manufacturers are our only
constituency; your need to compete is our only concern. Working to
ensure manufacturing competitiveness in Ohio is our only
business.
