Join TAG for this informative program and learn why manufacturing companies are making sound business decisions to bring their manufacturing back home. A panel of accomplished speakers will look at this decision process from many perspectives including the global dynamics driving the change. Attendees will hear input from several speakers and have the opportunity to ask specific questions.
The program will begin with a Keynote Presentation by Rob Visintainer, Vice President of Global Manufacturing for the NCR Corporation. Mr. Visintainer is credited for driving NCR's transformation from an outsourcing model to a NCR Global Manufacturing Network and with bringing manufacturing back to the U.S.
The keynote will be followed by an On-Shoring Panel Discussion. The three panelists will be:
- Eric Christensen, President, Hansgrohe-US
- Karen Fite, Director, Georgia Manufacturing Extension Partnership
- Troels Adrian, Director, Supply Chain & Advanced Manufacturing, Metro Atlanta Chamber
The breakfast will start at 7:30 am and the program will run from 8:00 am – 9:30 am. The event will conclude in time for the day two opening of the Southeast Design-2-Part Show where visitors can gain connections with American vendors that will aid them in their product development and manufacturing.
