Aurora Kicks-off ‘Investing in American Manufacturing’ Initiative

Illinois-based Aurora celebrated their commitment to American manufacturing with an old-fashioned lawn picnic at the company’s Yorkville manufacturing plant this week complete with hot dogs, bratwurst, apple pie and a raffle for baseball tickets.

Three years ago, Aurora made the decision to expand U.S. operations by investing in a new plant at home with state-of-the-art, world-class technology to help their customers keep pace with the dynamic, quickly-evolving markets they saw opening in the U.S and abroad.

The picnic kicked-off a six-month program focused on the lessons learned and the benefits of their investment. The company also celebrated the value their investment brought to the local communities, regional economies, U.S. supply chains and global industry sectors they serve.

“Overall, we’ve learned that investing in manufacturing operations at home is both great for local and regional economies and smart business,” said Dan LaTurno, president of Aurora. “In the next weeks, we’ll look at the specific values this brings to our customers here and abroad and discuss the benefits of working with a U.S.-based manufacturer that operates with the highest standards of manufacturing and sustainability.”

“Supporting American Manufacturing has always been part of Aurora’s mission as a subsidiary of Meridian Industries, Inc.,” LaTurno added.

Meridian’s owner, Bruce Pindyck, has a history of advocating for American Manufacturing and manufacturing jobs for American workers.
