Kuhn North America and AEM Host U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin

BRODHEAD, Wis. – Kuhn North America hosted U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) at the company’s headquarters in Brodhead. Joined by representatives from the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), Kuhn North America President Greg Petras provided Senator Baldwin and her staff with a presentation about KUHN’s scope in the agricultural equipment industry and also gave them a tour of the manufacturing facility. The primary focus of the visit was to discuss supply chain constraints, including how they affect manufacturers like KUHN, and efforts Senator Baldwin and other legislators are making to combat these issues.

“Companies like Kuhn North America are critical to moving not only our Made in Wisconsin manufacturing economy forward, but also to ensuring our farmers have the tools they need to bring their products efficiently to market.”

“Companies like Kuhn North America are critical to moving not only our Made in Wisconsin manufacturing economy forward, but also to ensuring our farmers have the tools they need to bring their products efficiently to market,” said Senator Baldwin. “As we work to finalize legislation to build a Made in America supply chain and bring manufacturing jobs back to America, I was excited to visit KUHN today to highlight how we can better support Wisconsin manufacturers who help move our agriculture economy forward. I look forward to passing the Bipartisan Innovation Act because it will accelerate the domestic production of critical components for KUHN’s equipment.”

“During her tenure in Congress, Senator Baldwin has been a tireless advocate for the millions of Americans making the equipment that builds, powers, and feeds the world,” said Megan Tanel, AEM President. “She is a reliable partner for our industry and AEM is grateful for her efforts to strengthen the equipment manufacturing industry. We look forward to continuing our work with her as she turns her attention to the Bipartisan Innovation Act and works across the aisle to send the bill to the President’s desk.”

“KUHN was honored to host Senator Baldwin at our Brodhead facility,” said Petras. “Thanks to the support of leaders like Senator Baldwin, we can continue to manufacture the equipment that feeds America. We are encouraged to hear about her efforts to strengthen America's supply chains and build the next generation of skilled workers, allowing our company and our industry to thrive in Wisconsin and across the United States.”
