NAM Fighting (CONT’D FROM PAGE 1)
rights to talk about unions but also allow organizers to form a union without holding a secret ballot election. • There are 14 new regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency—including an expected new partic- ulate matter and ozone regulation that could threaten manufacturers’ expansion plans, existing operations and any advance on affordable and reliable energy. “We often hear about the NAM’s successful legislative campaigns on issues like tax reform and infrastructure in- vestment and their ongoing work on the China competition bill—because their advocacy makes headlines,” said Fitter- ling. “In fact, the corporate tax rate would not be where it is today without the NAM’s leadership and advocacy back in 2018. Now their advocacy to counter the regulatory on- slaught is also incredibly important.” “They have the connections and expertise to take our message right to the decision-makers. They know how to craft a winning message—and when needed, a winning lawsuit. In my opinion, there has never been a more effec- tive organization for manufacturers like us than the NAM. “I hope that manufacturers will continue their strong support for the NAM. There is no question it is the right decision for U.S. manufacturing competitiveness.” East Coast Box Maker To Expand Operation With Kolbus AB300 Line A leading supplier of POP retail displays and merchandis- ing solutions on the East Coast will expand operations with the first fully equipped AB300 line in the United States. Installation is planned for Q4 2022 at their facility. The AutoBox AB300 on-demand boxmaker is a versa- tile and robust machine that is suited for corrugated plants of all sizes. This time and money-saving machine uses 75 percent less energy, it’s quick to set and easy to use with the interactive touchscreen interface. Furthermore, it pro- duces up to 100 different box styles and virtually all sizes and flutes for different packaging needs, including RSC styles, partitions, trays and more. The AB300 purchased by the East Coast company, is unlike any other AutoBox machine in the U.S., coming fully equipped with the DP300 for digital print capabilities, as well as various AutoBox modules including the MultiCut MC300 for increased box style options, AutoStack AS300, and AutoFeed AF300. The additional modules on their AB300 will further benefit their boxmaking efforts, provid- ing additional flexibility and increasing their capabilities. “Corrugated plants are seeing what a difference the AB300 can make by moving jobs from other converting equipment to the AutoBox,” said Ryan Clark, Sales Man- ager, Kolbus America. “This fully equipped line will offer a plethora of capabilities and massive growth opportunity for this company, unlike anything their competitors could offer.”
